Select Box with just the CSS styling similar to Jquery UI Button
jquery, jquery-ui
Solution
Not completely no. Select / dropdown boxes are generally Operating System and Browser dependent. You can't control it at a fine grained level.
Chrome / Webkit browsers allow some styling. See this Question: How to style a <select> dropdown with CSS only without JavaScript?
If you are able to use extra markup to surround the `select` then you can do some things.

Otherwise you have to resort to JS solutions like

Problem
I can use .button() to create beautiful submit buttons, but the rest of the elements on my page, most notably select boxes are still in the regular, ugly css styling. Is there a way to hijack the css styling from Jquery UI Button for my select boxes?
