[VirtueTech]

Hello,

Does anyone here know how I can change the highlight color of a selected item in a drop down menu using CSS?

This is what you are looking for:

<style type="text/css">
<!--

option { color: #cc0000; background-color: #000000; }
.another { color: #00000; background-color: #33ff00; }

-->
</style>

The first example (OPTION) will apply to every instance of the OPTION tag, no further coding is needed.

If you wanted to apply a style to only one OPTION tag, then you would use the second example (.another) and do this:

<select>
<option>this is a test</option>
<option class="another">Another test</option>
<option>One last test</option>
<option>One last test</option>
<option>One last test</option>
<option>One last test</option>
</select>

Is that clear?

Yes but it does not change the color of the SELECTED option or the option the user has highlighted.

How do I change that?

ah...I don't believe you can change that as that is a Windows API thing (I think).

I am pretty sure that you will have no luck there...
