hi all how do you set the color of the select item to none ore even better.  
how do you set the option using filters eg.

select{background-color:#ffffff;  
-moz-opacity:.40;  
opacity:.40;}

select option{filter:alpha(opacity=40);  
-moz-opacity:.40;  
opacity:.40;}

not sure if this element has the capacity to have filter applied.

Much appreciated for any insights
