A select box's border color in Internet Explorer just won't change. A text box's border color changes but not a select box's.
I'm using:
border: 1px solid #000000}
It changes in Opera, Safari, and Firefox, but not Internet Explorer 8. Why?

Try setting the individual border styles, e.g. border-top:1px solid #000000; « this works for me in IE8
- what do you mean individual styles? like two border size, then next line put border color? how do i specify the border color on a different line?

no, sorry, I mean the individual borders themselves - left, top, right, bottom:
select { border-left:1px solid #000000; border-top:1px solid #000000; etc }
- heres the code im using #SELECTb {border-color: white; width: 190px; position:absolute; left: 482px; top: 90px; border-top: 1px solid #000000; border-right: 1px solid #000000; border-left: 1px solid #000000; border-bottom: 1px solid #000000} its not working in IE8. why isnt it working?

It always pays to avoid using reserved words in class and id names. Although the namespaces should be independent, strange bugs can happen. So try changing id="SELECTb" to something different.

Some browsers just don't like styling form controls. without seeing all your css and html this question isn't really answerable.
show us the code.
