But the original question was just about the un-clicked/un-tapped SELECT element and its icon on the right (which authors were hiding via 'overflow: hidden'), which is generally consistent (with variations) across browsers and platforms, including mobile. I think that question can be answered more simply. Yeah, you (and several others) are right. The styling of <select> itself, in its unopened state, is much less troublesome and can probably be specified fairly easily. The only obvious problem I see is <select multiple>, which is rendered very differently on desktop (where it's tall and ugly) and mobile (where it looks the same as a normal select). To be honest, if it was possible to somehow make desktop <select multiple> render in a similar fashion to mobile (for example, looking just like a normal <select>, but staying open when you click an option, indicating which things are checked/unchecked somehow), I'd be greatly in favor. ~TJ
