you can use jQuery selectbox replacement. It's a jQuery plugin.

in Firefox 39 I ve found that setting a border to the select element will render the arrow as  2   No border set  will render the arrow as  1   I think it s a bug

Browsers and OS s determine the style of the select boxes in most cases  and it s next to impossible to alter them with CSS alone  You ll have to look into replacement methods  The main trick is to apply appearance  none which lets you override some of the styling   My favourite method is this one   http   cssdeck com item 265 styling-select-box-with-css3  It doesn t replace the OS select menu UI element so all the problems related to doing that are non-existant  not being able to break out of the browser window with a long list being the main one    Good luck
