Question

Say I’ve got a list. I want to let the user know that one of the indices was the one that was previously set. I would like it so that when the user opens the drop down menu he can see that one of the options is marked so it looks different from the rest.

Is there a facility for this? I won’t bother with it if I have to hack up something ugly or re-implement the entire menu functionality to get this to work.

Answer 1

Are you talking about a simple <select>-Dropdown?

If so, it’s pretty straightforward with CSS:

<select>
    <option style="background:yellow">yellow</option>
    <option style="background:red">red</option>
    <option style="background:blue">blue</option>
</select>

Of course CSS-Classes will work, too.
