i hope you can help me:
i want to change the design of the <SELECT> box...
but how can i change the arrows of a selectbox???
i mean, the color?
and not only the arrowbox color, the color of the scrolling thing!!
 
this works the same way as you would set the scollbars on the browser window:
Code:
<style type=&quot;text/css&quot;>
<!--
select {
     scrollbar-face-color: #004737; 
     scrollbar-shadow-color: #004737; 
     scrollbar-highlight-color: #FFFFFF; 
     scrollbar-3dlight-color: #004737; 
     scrollbar-darkshadow-color:#FFFFFF; 
     scrollbar-track-color: #FFFFFF; 
     scrollbar-arrow-color: #FFFFFF;
}
-->
</style>

sorry, it works on textareas so i figured it would be the same...css is the way to do it...u just need to find the syntax, try searching the internet, or if you've seen it, just look at the source...for radio buttons it would be something like color: white or background-color: white although im not really sure -Greg :-Q
 
dose it, just go there and check out the sorce. For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only son, that whoever believes in him won't die but have everlasting life - Jesus - John 3:16 -
 
From my experience, there isn't a whole lot you can do to change the style of radio buttons, checkboxes and select boxes. There are some things that work using CSS, but they probably aren't cross browser compatible, and I'd bet a dollar they won't work at all in NS4.7. Tracy Dryden

I agree with Tracy. Try putting the styles set forth in the posts above to set with a textarea and select/dropdown list. In IE the textarea shows with the color changes, the select will pick up a few. But try in NS 4.7, you won't see a textbox at all and the select will just be a list like a sentence.
