Dropdown menu - can this be done??

**turfbult** · May 7th, 2001, 03:14 AM

Hello,

I have this code for a dropdown menu. Is it possible to change the
appearance of each "option" - eg. each option(product1 thru product3)
must have a different colour and be "bolded" and underlined.

Can it be done??

Thanks,
T

<select name="test" size="1">
<option value="Product1">Product1</option>
<option value="Product2">Product2</option>
<option value="Product3">Product3</option>
</select>

I tried applying a style to just one of the option tags and it didn't work - they all stayed the same.

Jip, I have the same problem. Does this mean it cannot be done!!??

I think that different color is possible, but not underline or bold. Option elements have a limited number of inline style attributes available.

Check this out on MSDN for details of which ones are available.
