I am trying to simply style my select box so the text is centre aligned. It works in Firefox but not in Safari or Chrome. When inspecting the element in Chrome it says the text is centred, however this is not the case. Can anybody see why it is not centred in Chrome and Safari?

It will not work. Your best best is to use a plugin. E.g select menu :http://filamentgroup.com/lab/jquery_ui_selectmenu_an_aria_accessible_plugin_for_styling_a_html_select/
That actually replaces the select with a span but retains select functionality.
Well, styling tag is really hard. You have to test different browsers and OS, and hardly you will reach an uniform result.

I suggest you to use some alternative component or js replacement that emulate selects behaviour, if you want to style it in an easier way.

There's no totally cross browser way of centering the test of a <select> element using just css. Some browsers allow you to do it and some don't.
If you really have to have it centered then I would suggest that you look into using an alternative component like Select2 or Chosen.

Apparently none of Safari browsers support text-align-last -property. Is there any neat alternative(non-js) without redrawing select to achieve the same result?
Particularly desired result: centered text of selected value in full-width select.
Cheers!
I was able to get a slight work around for this using text-indent, it requires some javascript code if you want it perfectly centered or you can hard code it for some padding.
Text-align-last (if supported by the browser) will overwrite the text-indent value.
Some people want to make the -ms-clear pseudo element disappear: Remove IE10's "clear field" X button on certain inputs?
My need is the opposite: I need to have it on FireFox and Chrome too. My client noticed it in Internet Explorer and founded it very useful. I use jquery-inputmask plugin BTW in my app.

Addition to the answer:
I just double checked how DataTables's column filters handle this, because I remembered that it provides clear icon on FF and Chrome. I tried it out now in IE, and the IE's pseudo element puts an extra X there! The pseudo element is the bigger one, and the smaller one which is there in FF and Chrome also is a background image justified to the right with a right margin of 5px.
That is a native feature that is shipped with IE10. In order to have something like that in other browsers you will need to create it yourself. Or find a library that has a feature like that.
I'm trying to modify a default select box using CSS. I've already done it. But, some problems are happened at firefox. What I've done still now:
It's the perfect result on all browser except firefox and IE
At firefox, there are the problems:
(1) There are an unexpected border on the right side of the select box
(2) Padding of text of select box is much bigger than other input field.
At IE, same problem happened. There are unexpected and much clear box at the right of the select box:
How can I remove that unexpected line/box from firefox and IE. Also, what can be responsible for the padding problem at firefox?
Well, I've used this tutorial's concept to customize the select box using CSS only. And I've put my code at
jsfiddle.net/w9kFc/1/
(I can't add the select-icon image at jsfiddle from external link. So, I've taken the screenshot locally. But, I've given the image's link at the jsfiddle code. )
This seems to work in IE10: jsFiddle
Added a label around the select.
Replaced the text-indent with padding.
I have a div that on hover will change positioning on an image and toggle a div via css. The list uses upper-alpha for styling. This CSS works fine in every browser except IE. The issue that I'm having is that in IE, after hovering over the div, it changes to 0. from A, B, C, etc..
Here's an example in jfiddle:
http://jsfiddle.net/YALdD/
if this works for you, just put the letters in the lists and get rid of the upper-alpha style, like this: http://jsfiddle.net/mjgasner/6J6Nf/3
Here's the workaround that is mentioned from the link in the comment above:
http://jsfiddle.net/mjgasner/94tu4/1/
It clearly doesn't work.
AND
IE won't render those as animations, as they are not supported.
http://www.w3schools.com/css3/css3_animations.asp
You can animate the color change in all browsers (even IE6!) with jQuery UI:
http://jqueryui.com/demos/animate/
Here is the link to W3Schools: http://www.w3schools.com/cssref/pr_list-style-type.asp
You can see all browsers supported for certain element.
If you need something else let us know.
What version of IE are you using?
Is there any way, how to make rounded HTML <select>, without using any javascript?
I have this insane design and I have absolutely no idea how to do it only with CSS.
The same problem is with checkbox and radiobutton. Does anybody know how to make them rounded?
I need solution that works for IE6+, Firefox 2+, Opera 9+ ...

No. Form styling is very problematic, there are no guarantees that any styling will work. Simple borders and background colours/images generally work OK in most browsers. I believe Safari will let you style very little. Check this page for more detailed info.
Honestly, the best solution is to use javascript. jQuery click menu is a great solution I used recently to mimic a select box (used JS to set a value on a hidden field when an element in the menu was selected).
I'm sure there are other solutions around too if you search.
No.
Now the long answer: Internet Explorer does not lend itself well to being styled. You will be able to set a background image for the left-hand side (the text content) that has rounded corners, but the drop-down arrow will be fixed as the default browser. You'll also find that the mousedown and mouseover states for the control will be fixed as the default style.
I think that in many cases, the ideal preferred design needs to be a little pragmatic about limitations in browser standards support. Specifically, the problem that IE6 doesn't support a fair number and IE7 is only slightly more compliant.
Sorry for the bad news.
no
please see this site for radiobutton and checkbox

No, Whit out javascript or jQuery you can not do this. But if you need with jQuery try this link. It contains the HTML select box with rounded corners by jQuery.
