If you mean inside the select box, then you will need to implement it yourself. The select is rendered differently by different browsers.

You can use the css below but there is a catch

Syntax: [ Download ] [ Hide ]

Syntax: [ Download ] [ Show ]

        select {
                background-color: rgba(255, 0, 0, 0.5);
        }
 

As Christopher mentioned different browsers render elements differently so the declaration above will work for IE9 and FF but Chrome will only make the dropdown section's background transparent. Also remember that the above will probably not work prior to IE9 so you may need to use an image for that purpose in an IE-only stylesheet.
