good news: <select> elements can now be customised with CSS, more than 20 years after they were first added to HTML 1.0

bad news: you still can't create a combobox without custom javascript elements

> teacher says "Ok students, now open Microsoft Visual Basic 6.0"
> start furiously clicking away at adobe.com to install Dreamweaver
> Errors out the ass
> Everyone else has already started their classwork
> I start to sweat
> Install a text editor
> "Umm...what the fuck is THAT anon?" a girl next to me asks
> I tell her its HTML and can do everything that Visual Basic 6 does and IT'S FREE!
> "Ok class, now add a ComboBox so the user can select from a list or type a custom option!" the teacher says
> I fucking break down and cry and run out of the class
> I get beat up in the parking lot after school
