changing text format in select boxes with NS4.08

[Sarah]

I am trying to alter the font format and size in a select drop down box in NS 4.08. I have used an external css with this code

select.text{
color:#000000;
font-weight:normal;
font-family:verdana,sans-serif;
font-size:10pt;
background-color:#F1F4FF;
}

and used the class on the select statement, but the textsize stays really big..?

Now I have used the same principle with the text box and that works fine...?!

Anyone have any ideas of what I can try? It seems to work in all other versions of NS so its just NS4.08

thanks

I know that select boxes, as of current, are limited compared to what can be done using CSS with text areas, input boxes, etc (for example, the scrollbar cannot be changed very readily). I may be wrong, however, I'm sure this is a foible of Netscape 4.08, and you shouldn't spend to much time hassling about it.

First rename your css class to something else, like .selecttext. Then try putting a span tag around the select tag, as follows:

<span class="selecttext">
  <select class="selecttext">
    blah blah blah
  </select>
</span>

OneChance - cheers that worked a treat I was all for giving up hope...

So far it doesn't screw up any of the other browsers
