Can anyone tell me how I can change the arrow and the face color on a drop down menu?

Thrawn$ · 06-27-2003, 08:04 PM

put this between the HEAD tag

PHP Code:


			
 <style>

BODY {

        SCROLLBAR-BASE-COLOR: #74056C;

        SCROLLBAR-ARROW-COLOR: #000000;

}

SELECT {

        FONT-FAMILY: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;

        FONT-SIZE: 11px;

        COLOR: #FFFFFF;

        BACKGROUND-COLOR: #00FFFF

}

TEXTAREA, .bginput {

        FONT-SIZE: 12px;

        FONT-FAMILY: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;

        COLOR: #9370E4;

        BACKGROUND-COLOR: #00ffff

        

}



input, .bginput {

        FONT-SIZE: 12px;

        FONT-FAMILY: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;

        COLOR: #9370E4

        BACKGROUND-COLOR: #9370E4

}



a:hover {  color: #ff33ff}

.poloccs {  border-style: ridge}

</style>

I am looking but cant seem to see that the face color on my drop down menu has changed. The browser scroll bars and the background of my dropdown menue are the only things that are changed.

style="FONT-SIZE: 12px; BORDER-LEFT-COLOR: #ffffff; BORDER-BOTTOM-COLOR: #ffffff; COLOR: #000000; BORDER-TOP-COLOR: #ffffff; FONT-FAMILY: Arial; SCROLLBAR-ARROW-COLOR: #ffffff; SCROLLBAR-BASE-COLOR: #ffffff; BACKGROUND-COLOR: #FFFFFF; BORDER-RIGHT-COLOR: #ffffff"

embed that into your drop down box tags

Using IE in windoze, the dropdown control is not a child of the browser window, but the desktop. It is affected by the windows system settings. You'd have to use DHMTL to get the desired appearance and duplicate the functionality of a combobox in IE. (there a number of script resources that provide that functionality).

Changing the color of the arrow in a text drop down box is nothing fansy.. very simple using css

Changing the properties of scrollbars for controls is simple.

as far as i know you can't change the appearance of a drop down menu other than the background and fonts, the little thingy u clic,k can't be changed using CSS. TEXTAREA is fully customizable tho.
