Select box CSS Reset

Safari has some annoying default styling for select boxes. This will reset it to a respectable default.

Note: This was created with Bootstrap in mind, but it can easily be modified to work with anything you like

select.form-control {
appearance: none;
line-height: normal;
position: relative;
background-position: right 10px top 50%;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
