Hide Default Select Drop down Arrow in IE9

Question

DEMO

Ihave tried css appearance: none; to hide select drop down arrow. But In IE9 arrow shows. For reference see the image.

Any idea how to hide arrow using css or jquery?

Here is my code:

    .fields-set select{
height:32px;
border:1px solid #ccc;
margin: 0 19px 0 1%;
padding:0 32px 0 1%;
width:55%;
float: left;
overflow: hidden;
background:url("https://encrypted-tbn2.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcR3xT6PSVebCcTYjggESCb55GBM91fGgbyrMFbs3CGeFoQjFwVB") no-repeat scroll right center padding-box border-box #FFF;
box-shadow: none;
-webkit-appearance: none;
   -moz-appearance: none;
        appearance: none;
    -ms-appearance: none  \9;
     -o-appearance: none;
    }

Solution 1

You can use a pseudo-element for the drop-down arrow in IE.

select::-ms-expand {
    display: none;
}
