CSS and selection list object?

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:

Hello,

Is it possible to put CSS into a select object?

I tried this but it doesn’t work…

<select size=”1″ class=fillin name=”pSector”>
<OPTION>A
<OPTION>B
<OPTION>C
</SELECT>

Thx a lot,

Luc Slenders.

This works in IE 5.5:&lt;style type="text/css"&gt;
.f {background-color: #FFFFC0; color: green}
&lt;/style&gt;
&lt;form onsubmit="return false"&gt;
&lt;select class="f"&gt;
&lt;option&gt;A
&lt;option&gt;B
&lt;option&gt;C
&lt;/select&gt;
&lt;/form&gt;

@lucauthorApr 04.2003 — Sorry... this is the CSS I would like to do on the selection:

.fillin {border: 1px #003300 solid}

@gil_davisApr 04.2003 — According to http://msdn.microsoft.com/workshop/author/dhtml/reference/objects/select.asp , IE does not support borders for a SELECT object. NS 6 supports it, but it does not exactly do what I would expect.

As a work-around, place the select inside of a span and apply the style to the span to get your border.

Success!
