Can I change the colour of the text in a drop down list? Or to be more precise can I change the colour of ONE of the items in the list?

Cheers Dan.

Of course, you can. Just add an id or class to your option tag. Here let me give you an example. Then style it in your css.

HTML and CSS:

<html>
<head>
<title></title>
<style type="text/css">
#red {
color: red;
}
#blue {
color: blue;
}
.green {
color: green;
}
</style>
</head>

<body>
<select name="country">
<optgroup label="Africa">
<option value="gam" id="red">Gambia</option>
<option value="mad" id="blue">Madagascar</option>
<option value="nam" class="green">Namibia</option>
</optgroup>
<optgroup label="Europe">
<option value="fra" class="green">France</option>
<option value="rus" class="green">Russia</option>
<option value="uk" class="green">UK</option>
</optgroup>
<optgroup label="North America">
<option value="can">Canada</option>
<option value="mex">Mexico</option>
<option value="usa">USA</option>
</optgroup>
</select>

</body>

</html>
