+#Fancy Select  
+
+Custom select boxes that retain native functionality. A work in progress.  
+
+<a href="http://www.stuffmadeofthings.com/fancyselect/" target="_blank">View Demo &rarr;</a>
+
+
+##Premise
+
+- Allow full custom-styled select elements, primarily through CSS
+- Minimal additional markup
+- Minimal js needed
+- Retain (not recreate) native functionality like tabbing, keyboard control, and native dropdown menu
+- Degrade gracefully for browsers that don't support (IE6 and IE7)
+
+
+##Usage
+
+include fancyselect.css, jquery.js, and fancyselect.js:
+
+```html
+<link rel="stylesheet" href="css/fancyselect.css" type="text/css" />  
+<script type="text/javascript" src="js/jquery.js"></script>  
+<script type="text/javascript" src="js/fancyselect.js"></script>  
+```
+
+Call fancyselect on the selects you want to style:
+
+```JavaScript
+$(document).ready(function() {
+	$("#wrapper select").fancyselect();
+});
+```
+
+
+##Still to do
+- Cross-browser fixes
+- Smarter plugin implementation
+- Testing, testing testing 
+
