Style Problems....

[aceinstaller]

Hi. Can someone please tell me why the drop down box i have created isn't changing color?

The code i am using is;

<p>Subject:<br><select name="subject" size=1 style= "background:; color: fff666">
<option value="Web Site"> Web Site</option>
<option value="Question"> Question</option>
<option value="Advertising"> Advertising</option>
<option value="Other"> Other</option>

For some reason the text is changing color, but the cackground isn't! The code; style="background:; color: fff666" works fine for me with normal text boxes etc, but just doesn't seem to want to work with a drop down menu....please help....

<option value="Question"> Question</option>
<option value="Advertising"> Advertising</option>
<option value="Other"> Other</option>

Just a bit of a typo it looks like:
try this ==(note the use of the background attribute and the semi-colons)
<p>Subject:<br><select name="subject" size=1 style= "background-color: #fff666; color:red;">
<option value="Web Site"> Web Site</option>
<option value="Question"> Question</option>
<option value="Advertising"> Advertising</option>
<option value="Other"> Other</option>
</select>

<p>Subject:<br><select name="subject" size=1 style= "background:; color: fff666">

I'd be interested in finding a way to make this work in N4.7. The code works in IE and N6, but N4.7 has limited style sheet support. Workaround?

Thanks again

Dr Web -
I think NS4.x will not support this type of CSS. Those versions were/are notoriously bad for lack of support for form elements - this has been greatly improved in NS6.

Yes. I hate to say it, but N6 does seem to support more CSS, and 'other' features...which were <ahem!> overlooked in N4.7
