[thelist] NS4.7 ignores style (Grrrrrr)

[Paul Backhouse]

Chuck,
	 NS 4.7 - ive only ever been able to style the font, never been able to do
the color for it.
you can use layers/divs to create the effect, bit of dhtml, but i wouldn't
botther if i were you, but id be interested to know if anyone out there has
found a way of doing it - also i have never been able to style the font in
NS4.7 in a textarea - any ideas?

cheers

Hi all,

I think I know the answer to this one, but need some confirmation.....

I would like to be able to "color" code the options in a drop down list for
my
customer.  As usual several things work in IE (5+). But NS4.7 seems to
ignore
any attempt to alter the display of the option list. I've tried the
following:

Simple style -

<OPTION VALUE="SomeText" STYLE="color: #000080;">SomeText</OPTION>

and using css, as in:

<style type="text/css">
<!--
.colorred { color: #FF0000}
-->
</style>

with the above in the head seciton, and the following option tags inside a
form, it would be nice to see the first option red and the second black.  If
I
can get something like this to work, I can setup the tag in the serverside
java
code and conditionally control color.

<Select name="xxxxx">
	<option value="SomeText" class=colorred>Some Option Text</option>
	<option value="SomeText2" >Some Other Option Text</option>
</SELECT>

IE is happy with either technique....NS4.7 just ignores both as it does the
deprecated "font" tag.

(DRAT, SMORGASFRAGRAS, BLAST).

Has anyone out there seen any "magic" way to get Netscape's attention or do
I
scrap the idea totally.

Regards,

Chuck
