Question

I’m trying to change the text color in the dropdown boxes in a jquery selectbox plugin.

You would have thought changing the color in:
.sbOptions a:link, .sbOptions a:visited {} and/or
.sbOptions a:hover, .sbOptions a:focus, .sbOptions a.sbFocus {}

would have done the trick but surprisingly it doesn’t and I can’t figure out why. I don’t know if it’s perhaps something to do with the javascript

here’s the fiddle

Try this

You can use $(".sbSelector").css('color','Red'); to change color.

And you can also try $(".sbSelector").css('backgroundColor','#ee55ee');
