The UI SelectMenu from the Filament Group solves a lot of issues with styling of select controls. It allows formatting of individual options and content-agnostic control of the width, amongst other things.
These guys are doing great work with progressive enhancement. Looking forward to reading the book.

jQuery for Mobile

Just heard that jQuery is extending out to the mobile platform [http://jquerymobile.com/].
It will be interesting to see how this plays along with the existing pack (jqTouch, Titanium, Sencha Touch etc.). Also in the running is Dojo mobile, early in development, but I've greater confidence in their widget set.
