CSS,style select drop down in form

[CitizenX]

I am having a bit of a problem that annoys me, it annoys me because I don't
know the answer.

I do not like the look of the plain old form entry buttons, changing them
to match the site makes the whole thing look great but I cannot change the
little arrow/button in drop down select menus (eg,
<select>
<option>options 1</option>
<option>options 2</option>
</select>
)
could someone please point me towards the right tutorial or show me how
they have acooplished this simple feat?

Download Opera <http://www.opera.com/> and design a skin for it that has
drop-down arrows that look exactly how you want them.

Perhaps I was not clear, I am preparing a site that *will look the same
on a cross browser intranet, using a "different browser" is exactly what
all of the viewers will be doing. The use of CSS to modify the look of
all elements and assistance in that usage is what I was requesting.

The answer: you don't do that. Styling of form elements has always been
quirky at best, even in the newest browsers.

The answer Matt gave was probably the best one you're going to get.
