Question by []: How do you format these fields for opera and internet explorer?
On a form I are “disabled” fields on multiple-choice. I can (bold, color, etc) change the font in Firefox, but Internet Explorer and Opera are seeming to ignore it, and that’s not good. They can be formatted in IE and Opera?

A select field is rendered by the operating system; some browser can, some browsers can’t change their styling, depending on how the browser “hooks” into the OS.

If you want full control over a select box, consider replacing it using CSS and JavaScript.
