title: HTML select boxes: combining background image with background color in IE
body: <pre><code>        select {
              border: none;
              -moz-appearance: none;
              -webkit-appearance: none;
              appearance: none;
              background: url('/drop.png') no-repeat;
          }
          option {
              background-color:#13814F;
  
          }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Relatively straightforward issue--in the above case, the background color of every option (including the selected one) overlaps the background image of the select box. Transparency isn't an issue with the image.</p>
  
  <p>As a side-note, what's the most modern or easy to use plugin for styling select boxes with jquery? I'm trying to do without but slowly losing my patience.</p>
