background for SELECT tag 2

[spicysudhi]

Hi,

I want to place a background image for a select list box. How to do that...

<select name="lstGroup" size="6" style="width=280px">
....
</select>


When I add

background-image:  url('images/background.jpg')

in the style, its not showing the image as background.

thanks in advance.

regards,
Sudhi

I'd give up now. This will be something that only a very small handful of browsers, if any, would support (IMHO).

I agree will BillyRay. For starters IE doesn't support it, eventhough Firefox does.

do you really need a background in the select box? Would a solid color be o.k. instead of an image?

Browsers are very variable over which CSS properties they apply to form elements. See

for examples.

thanks.

yes, I wanted image. Anyway... as it cannot be done, i'll go for background color instead of image.

interesting link Chris, amazing the difference each browser renders these elements.
