Help with CSS dropdown colors

[c-pr0mpt]

Hi, I added a dropdown link box. Using CSS I am trying to customize it same as a form text box and such.

The code for the dropdown is

<select size="1" name="LINKS">
<option selected>-] Choose Destination [-</option>
<option>-» About Us</option>
<option>-» News</option>
<option>-» Hosting Options</option>
<option>-» Support Forum</option>
<option>-» Support HelpDesk</option>
<option>-» Email Support</option>
<option>-» FAQ</option>
<option>-» Contact Us</option>
</select>

So for the CSS in the top I put

<style>
LINKS {
background-color: #2E3643;
border-color: black;
border-width: 1;
color: #727A87;
font-family: verdana;
font-weight: bold;
}
</style>

Its not working....what am I doing wrong?

hello,

there's a couple things that you've got to change to get that to work. first, you have to put a period before the name of css class, like this:

<style>
.LINKS {
background-color: #2E3643;
border-color: black;
border-width: 1;
color: #727A87;
font-family: verdana;
font-weight: bold;
}
</style>

second, change the 'name' attribute in the <select> tag to 'class', like this:

<select size="1" class="LINKS">

hope this helps,

Try this:

<select size="1" class="links">
<option selected>-] Choose Destination [-</option>
<option>-» About Us</option>
<option>-» News</option>
<option>-» Hosting Options</option>
<option>-» Support Forum</option>
<option>-» Support HelpDesk</option>
<option>-» Email Support</option>
<option>-» FAQ</option>
<option>-» Contact Us</option>
</select>

And for the CSS styles use this:

<style>
.links {
background-color: #2E3643;
border-color: black;
border-width: 1;
color: #727A87;
font-family: verdana;
font-weight: bold;
}
</style>

See you around the forums!
