Hello,

Is it possible in HTML to use colors for text in a 'drop down menu'? If not, in which language (maybe DHTML) is it possible?

Thanks in advance.

Yes, use CSS for example:

<style type="text/css">
<!--
select { background-color: red; color: white;}
-->
</style>

Thanks for the reply. But actually that is not what I mean. Is it possible to use several colors for each item of the drop down menu?

Hope someone can help me. Thanks in advance.

This works in IE6

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">
<html>
<head>
<title>Untitled</title>
</head>
<body>
<div><select>
<option style="color: #3300ff;">hello</option>
<option style="color: #66ff33;">hello</option>
<option style="color: #666666;">hello</option>
<option style="color: #ff3333;">hello</option>
<option style="color: #669966;">hello</option>
</select></div>
</body>
</html>

And it's CSS, like Rob's solution.

Or do you mean each letter different colors?

Yes, your code helped me with my problem (to have different colors for each item of the drop down menu). Thanks a lot!
