Answer 1

You can use a pseudo-element for the drop-down arrow in IE.

select::-ms-expand {
    display: none;
}

Try this

.myclass::-ms-expand{display:none}
.myclass{
    -moz-appearance:none;
    -webkit-appearance:none;
    text-indent:0.01px;
    text-overflow:''; 
    background:url('https://www.holidayme.com/Images/uparrow.jpg') no-repeat 95% center #fff;
    border:1px solid #ccc; 
    width:100%;border-radius:0;
