Now the problem is that the padding setting, for one reason or another
is killing my select boxes in FireFox... If I remove that line, is
fixes the Select boxes, but breaks other stuff in our app that relies
on that... I'm no CSS expert, but I was told the * set helps all
browsers start on the same page to avoid some problems. Now removing
it is an option, but I'm wondering what the attribute is I need to
change, or the element I need to change to get my Select boxes to be
right... when I change the padding on the select boxes themselves, it
just adds padding to the inside of the box and doesn't make the box
bigger to allow the text inside to fit... here's a link to a picture
that may help explain what I mean. I'm using FireBug in firefox to
help sort it all out.
Yeah but removing the PADDING option in the wildcard is what fixes the
issue, not the font... which is what has me puzzled.

Ok - I remember setting the font-family on selectors and it causing
problems because fonts render differently - sorry that isn't the right
answer for you.
Just to clarify, you are talking about the selectors cutting the words
short on the right-hand side, aren't you?
Have you tried setting a disproportionate padding-right on the inputs,
or giving them a width attribute?
The YUI reset.css may fix your problems. You can give it a quick test
drive by removing your wildcard declaration (but still keeping the rest
of your styles) and calling the reset file from Yahoos own servers;
that way any option tag that follows a select tag will have those
attributes.
(or you could just use the option tag.)
The text is still very tight in Opera 9.26 on widows XP
all the rest are fine (Flock, firefox, safari, IE7 and IE8 beta)
