use JS to style the select, if JS is disabled, the default style (you defined) will show.

It’s not entirely clear to me what you are trying to achieve, pradeep459, but JavaScript isn’t (primarily) made to style HTML but to add functionality. So, if you need to apply styles based on a certain condition with JavaScript then add a CSS hook (e. g. a class) to the element with JS and style it with CSS.


HTML is there as it is (and works without relying on JS functionality)
JS adds a class to HTML
CSS styles HTML using that class selector


This is separation of content, style, and behavior, a. k. a. behavioral separation (http://www.alistapart.com/articles/behavioralseparation).
