Question VB: CSS Styles on ddl listitems
I am looking for a way to implement CSS styles on DropDownList ListItems. In HTML it's pretty easy:

PHP Code:
<select>
<option class="red" value= "Yes">Option 1</option>
<option class="pink" value= "No">Option 2</option> 
</select> 


But in ASP.NET-VB I'm hitting a snag.

PHP Code:
<asp:dropdownlist id="ddlList" runat="server" Width="180px">
<asp:ListItem Value="Yes" class="red">Option1</asp:ListItem>
<asp:ListItem Value="No" class="pink">Option2</asp:ListItem></asp:dropdownlist> 


That code doesn't work. When compiled, it totally deletes the "class" attribute.

Any thoughts?

hi timandkitty,

i'm only getting to grips with this .net lark myself and formatting has already caused many headaches!

but i have come across this. there is a known bug with the dropdownlist web control which prevents you froma dding attributes to it http://support.microsoft.com/defaul...b;en-us;Q309338 - very handy! but then this is microsoft

they suggest you use a html control instead - i.e. just add the runat="server" to your bog standard select tag - will this let you do what you want? you can still dynamically load this list from a database etc and set the styles at runtime too...

Talking muchas gracias
I don't believe that isea will work for me, as I need them to maintain state through postbacks (which they won't, right?) but thanks for the information. At least I can resign myself to dysfunctionality of style for the time-being.
