Any(!!) suggestions please

Hello,

I am still trying to get a solution to a problem which posted a while ago.

Is there NO(!!!) way to bold individual items within a dropdown menu.

IE... I have 5 items in my dropdown - some must be bold, other not!!

Code:

<select name="Test" size="1"> <option value="This one is BOLD">This one is BOLD</option> <option value="This one is NOT">This one is NOT</option> <option value="This one is NOT">This one is NOT</option> <option value="This one is BOLD">This one is BOLD</option> <option value="This one is BOLD">This one is BOLD</option> </select>

Please, any suggestions. My problem is that I have a list of about 20
items in my dropdown, but these items must be "grouped" by category and
I do not know how to clearly define the different categories/items within
the dropdown - thats why I thought about using BOLD!! Any other suggestions??

I MUST use a dropdown/select - it's not my choice!!

Thanks,
T

You can try this though:

****************************************************
<html>
<head>
<title></title>

<style TYPE = "text/css">
.category{background-color:blue;color:white;}
</style>

</head>
<body>
<form NAME = "frmSelect">

<select name="Test" size="1">
<option value="This one is BOLD" CLASS = "category">This one is BOLD</option>
<option value="This one is NOT">This one is NOT</option>
<option value="This one is NOT">This one is NOT</option>
<option value="This one is BOLD" CLASS = "category">This one is BOLD</option>
<option value="This one is BOLD" CLASS = "category">This one is BOLD</option>
</select>

</form>
</body>
</html>

****************************************************

You can change the background color and font color in the select boxes.
