Hide arrow in standard dropdown?

Question

Is there a a way to hide the arrow in a standard dropdown select fieldset?

Fiddle link

I have an autocomplete system where you fill in the organisation number of a company and it finds the info based on a database. I'd like to have the select box, but without the arrow..

I need it to do this as it's a double function form, either you can fill in your ORG nr or just manually type it in, pretty simple, probably used all over the internet.

Thanks :)

Kyle, Usually autocomplete systems use input text elements instead of a select element. This creates what you are trying to achieve. Google is a classic example of this.

If you want, you can take a look at jQuery's autocomplete plugin to get another example and some code ideas, or whatever. http://docs.jquery.com/Plugins/Autocomplete
