## What it is
A small CSS library by Filament Group that provides cross-browser, consistent styling for HTML select elements. It normalizes appearance across browsers with a custom dropdown arrow and careful accessibility considerations.

## Use cases
- style select dropdowns consistently across browsers
- replace default browser select element styling
- add custom arrow icon to select boxes
- prevent iOS Safari zoom on form selects
- make form controls look the same in IE and modern browsers

## When to avoid
- the project is archived and no longer maintained
- you want a full form styling framework or modern CSS reset
- you need framework-specific (React/Vue) select components

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: abandoned
- function: css-framework, ui-components, form-handling
- domain: web-development, frontend, web-design, accessibility
- platform: browser, cross-platform
