CSS problems with DropDown Menus in NS6

[htmletc]

I have CSS on my site calling for all links to be a certain color and decoration, etc. However, in NS6, when using a standard drop-down menu, those decorations appear in the drop down menu until the mouse is moved over it. Then if the menu is deselected and selected gain, it happens again. I've tried specifying no text-decoration in around the entire form feld, in the select tags, and even within the option tags. Nothing seems to help, and yet on other sites this doesn't happen, and I can't see any difference in the coding. This also happens when clicking on buttons (for submitting forms, etc.) Thanks in advance for any help anyone can offer.

Hmm..oie. First, the drop-down menu.
Are you implying to the form-based one, or dhtml?

As always, the code is importnat..mind showing us?

Sure. It is formbased.

<form name="jumpbox">

<select name="jump_box" size="1" onChange="gone()">
<option>Please select/option>
<option value="tutorials.php?id=2&nm=1.0">Introduction</option>
<option value="tutorials.php?id=2&nm=1.1">Lesson #1</option>
<option value="tutorials.php?id=2&nm=1.2">Lesson #2</option>
<option value="tutorials.php?id=2&nm=1.3">Lesson #3</option>
<option value="tutorials.php?id=2&nm=1.4">Lesson #4</option>
</select>

<script language="javascript">
<!--

function gone()
{
location=document.jumpbox.jump_box.options[document.jumpbox.jump_box.selectedIndex].value
}

//-->
</script>

</form>

I basically use that. Now, the style sheet is specified to make all links to turn a gold color onmouseover, and that's what happens in drop down menus as well as the buttons in NS6. Thanks for your help!

Okay. Here's what you do.

Add this code to your style sheet.

select { background-color: #1A203C; }

change the background-color to that of a gold.

Now, you can also add other elements like fontis-ze, font-family and more.
However, anymore complex will work in IE and Netscpae 6/Mozilla only.
