CSS: Highlight color in <select>
How do I set the color of the highlighted (selected) option from a <select> field? For example, how would I change the color of the selected forum in the forum jump dropdown at the bottom of this page?

Thanks.

Ahh, that would probably explain why I couldn't find out how.

Thanks for the reply.

You could

Code:
<style>
option.opt1 {
	background: #F1F1F1;
}
option.opt2 {
	background: #0088FF;
}
</style>

<select>
<option value="" class=opt1>Test</option>
<option value="" class=opt1>Test</option>
<option value="" class=opt2 selected>Test</option>
<option value="" class=opt1>Test</option>
<option value="" class=opt1>Test</option>
</select>

Mirax,

That isn't quite what I want to do. I want to set the color of the item the mouse is over. Currently it defaults to whatever "Selected Items" in the Display Properties is set to.

okay, something with option onMouseOver="highlight()" and a javascript function which changes the style of the option should do it then?

IE does not fire any events on <option/> elements.

In Gecko, with XBL form bindings enabled, this is possible. But they are disabled by default.

forget my JavaScript comment, it's nonsense

The only thing I can think of would be some css code, but I can't find it anywhere One would expect it's possible to change the color like it is possible to change the scrollbar color (also system dependant)
