Hi I'm using a drop down menu like this which selects the link when clicked from the menu. I have sucessfully customised it and found plenty of differing info on that from style sheets to iframes. One simple question though;

Is it possible at all to change the blue arrow color or border color of the select box it resides in? I know I can change that arrow color with scrollbar style attributes but I've searched in vein and found nothing on this. Please help.


<TD id='PullDown' align='left'>
<SELECT name='SongList' onchange='GetSelection(this)' style="background-color: #333333; color: #8F8A4F; font-size: 9pt; font-weight: none;">
<option selected value='null'>Select From List</option>
<option VALUE="#">---------------</option>
<option VALUE="URL">TITLE</option>
<option VALUE="URL">TITLE</option>
<option VALUE="URL">TITLE</option>
</select></TT>
</TD>



Thankyou.
 
afaik you cannot format that. just like you cannot format the checkboxes or radio buttons. what you can do though is to simulate a dropdown menu using a textbox and an image that contains an arrow that looks the way you want. put these two over a dropdown list using layers and you can make it look like whatever you want.
