How can I change the color of the options when the mouse over. The default is darkblue. Thanks!..:)

That depends on how the drop down menu was programmed. Can we see some code? Or, are you talking about a <select> menu?

I'm not sure if you can change the mouseover color for <select> menus. It may just be a windows default. Check out this code, however:

<select name="mymenu" size="1" style="color: #8CB0E6; background-color: black;">
<option selected>Option One</option>
<option>Option Two</option>
</select>This will change your background and font color...

If you're referring to a select box, here's what I'd do...

<select size="1">
<span style="color:white;background-color:blue"><option selected>your option</span>
</select>

That should work.

That code does absolutly nothing for me in IE 6...

Oops, I think I did it wrong, then. Hehe, I'm not supposed to use a <span>. This should work...

<select size="1">
<option selected style="color:white;background-color:blue">your option
</select>

That should do.

Yup, that works now. It is also very close to what I originally posted... :p

Yah, that's true. I was just giving... an alternative. :)
