Try this:

Code:

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">

<!-- Begin
function formHandler(form){
var URL = document.form.site.options[document.form.site.selectedIndex].value;
frames['name-iframe'].location.href = URL;
}
// End -->
</SCRIPT>

and in your iframe, put name="name-iframe" or change it.

Got this from this page: http://www.xs4all.nl/~ppk/js/iframe.html

Haven't tested it so I don't know if it would work, but I'm pretty sure that's how you'd get it to work

<option value=""><b>Music</b>

Would that work?

No only gecko browsers allow you to style the options. Gecko as in Firefox and Netscape.
