No  you can t control the look of a select box in such detail   A select box is usually displayed as a dropdown list  but there is nothing that says that it always has to be displayed that way  How it is displayed depends on the system  and on some mobile phones for example you don t get a dropdown at all  but a selector that covers most or all of the screen   If you want to control how your form elements look in such detail  you have to make your own form controls out of regular HTML elements  or find someone else who has already done that

For future reference if somebody else runs into this problem  I found a solution that should work in all modern browsers   select      scrollbar-width  none    For Firefox        -ms-overflow-style  none     For Internet Explorer 10        select -webkit-scrollbar     For WebKit Browsers       width  0      height  0      Basically this way the scrollbar is set to a width of 0 and is hence not displayed

I think you can t  The SELECT element is rendered at a point beyond the reach of CSS and HTML  Is it grayed out   But you can try to add a  size  atribute

Chrome  and maybe other webkit browsers  only    x000D   x000D     you probably want to specify the size if you re going to disable the scrollbar    x000D  select size   -webkit-scrollbar   x000D   display  none  x000D    x000D   lt select size 4 gt  x000D     lt option gt Mango lt  option gt  x000D     lt option gt Peach lt  option gt  x000D     lt option gt Orange lt  option gt  x000D     lt option gt Banana lt  option gt  x000D   lt  select gt  x000D   x000D   x000D

You can use a  lt div gt  to cover the scrollbar if you really want it to disappear  Although it won t work on IE6  modern browsers do let you put a  lt div gt  on top of it

I know this thread is somewhat old  but there are a lot of really hacky answers on here  so I d like to provide something that is a lot simpler and a lot cleaner   select       overflow-y  auto      As you can see in this fiddle  this solution provides you with flexibility if you don t know the exact number of select options you are going to have  It hides the scrollbar in the case that you don t need it without hiding possible extra option elements in the other case  Don t do all this hacky overlapping div stuff  It just makes for unreadable markup

Like Guffa said  you cannot reliably get that much control over native controls   The best way is probably to make a box of elements with radio buttons beside each item  then use labels and JavaScript to make the  rows  interactive  so clicking on a radio button or label will color the selected row
