 * I am currently using the Column Filter Widgets extension to create dropdown filters
   above the table. I would like the ability to style these dropdowns, I am wondering
   if it is possible to add a new class or id selector for the <select> tag so I
   can style the menus. Otherwise, do you have any other recommendations for styling
   these dropdowns.
 * Thanks

 * Hi,
 * thanks for your question, and sorry for the trouble.
 * I’m not really sure why you want an extra CSS class or ID here. You could simply
   use some CSS like
 *     ```
       .column-filter-widget select {
         border: 2px solid #ff0000;
       }
       ```
   
 * to style them.
    (Using `.column-filter-widget select option` as the selector 
   should help in targeting the individual options.)
 * Regards,
    Tobias
