HTML

              
                <div class="wrapper">
<h1>Pretty and Easy Custom Select Boxes</h1>

<p>With a little bit of CSS and jQuery, any select object on your site can be transformed from boring browser default to whatever your heart desires.</p>

<p>The script currently handles basic things like <code>disabled</code> and <code>selected</code>. It also works for <code>options</code> with different values and text.</p>

  <div class="module">
<h3>What do you want?</h3>

<select name="select" id="what">
	<option value="a disabled select value" disabled>a disabled select value</option>
  <option value="Hello World!">an option with a different value</option>
  <option value="more options">more options</option>
	<option value="cookies">cookies</option>
	<option value="ice cream">ice cream</option>
	<option value="pizza">pizza</option>
  <option value="sushi">sushi</option>
  <option value="fruit">fruit</option>
</select>

<h3>When do you want it?</h3>

<select name='options' id="when">
  <option value='in 30 minutes'>30 minutes</option>
  <option value='at a different starting point' selected>at a different starting point</option>
  <option value='right now'>Right now</option>
</select>	

<div class="output">Select options to change output.</div>
  </div>

<div class="module">For comparison, here is your browser default:
  <select name='options' class="default">
    <option value='option-1'>Option 1</option>
    <option value='option-2'>Option 2</option>
    <option value='option-3'>Option 3</option>
  </select><br />
  <span style="font-size:.9em;">(Add the class "default" to a select box to disable custom styling.)</span>
</div>
