What if we updated the "select" system...

I'm thinking we could easily do more with selects.
Something more along the lines of how sencha-touch handles them.
Creating a new menu out of the options list using a div that is tagged directly under the select overriding the click event.

Maybe this was already approached and dismissed due to compatibility, or some valid reason I suspect...

Anyone know of a fork that includes this type of functionality?

From Danielku15 in issue #245:

It seems you are opening the system default popup when clicking on the styled select-item. It would be awesome if you create an own popup control which displays the items. This way the popup can be styled as well.

But you should take care of mobile-devices as well. iOS, Android and Co should still open the native dialog because it's more user-friendly.

Looks like Firefox is the only browser that allows certain styling features for the native picker, do you have plans to make an alternate dropdown that's style-able in all browsers, or at least add styling for Firefox?

I also found the select somewhat disappointing, due to the select dropdown not being styled. I ended up having to use the Chosen jQuery plugin instead, as it is much more flexible. I'd prefer a solution where I could just use one plugin for styling all elements ;-)
