Indeed! The main problem in general with DHTML replacements like this is
accessibility, though. For example, in this script the selectalikes are
not operable by keyboard, which might be a bad thing if the audience
includes a lot of laptop users, for example (not to mention special
needs users).
Much of the OS functionality can be emulated with eg. links with
onkeypress handlers. But it's really rather involved and you still can't
quite catch *everything*, unfortunately. In summary, argh.
Perhaps it might be worth adding an option for 'only intervene for
browsers that won't size <option>'?
