Well my first reactions would be to ditch the drop-downs. I rarely see 
a need for them  and I personally find them difficult to use and 
annoying. Also, most use javascript (badly) making the drop downs 
unusable with JS turned off, a big accessibility no-no. As you are 
finding out, there are as many browser compatibility issues as there 
are drop down methods.

However that being said, you may want to have a look at these methods

and

Which are generally considered pretty highly.
