I managed to set the height of my SELECT exactly what I wanted in IE8 and 9. The trick is to set the box-sizing property to content-box . This will set the SELECT content area to height, but keep in mind that margin , border and padding values ββwill not be calculated by SELECT width / height, so adjust these values ββaccordingly.
select { display: block; padding: 6px 4px; -moz-box-sizing: content-box; -webkit-box-sizing:content-box; box-sizing:content-box; height: 15px; }
Here is a working jsFiddle . Could you confirm and mark the corresponding answer?
