HTML - Drop Down Menu - Change Colour Of Arrow. Is It Impossible?
I've been researching changing the colour of an arrow in a standard drop down menu. It seems it isn't possible. With further research I found that the colour and roll over state is controlled by whatever windows theme you are using. I changed my theme a few times and this is correct. However, before I give up, just thought I'd ask...
Does anyone know a way to change this with code? If not, is there a way to make your own drop down box which is cross browser compatible? I think it can't be done, prove me wrong get a bottle of rum Similar TutorialsOn my website I am trying to make a drop down menu change a script below it. If you go to http://www.breezybucks.com/article/newtemplate and click on "Custom Order Prizes" on the left you should see a drop down menu and an amazon flash file below it. I want it to be so that when you change from "Video Games" to "Electronics", it will load another flash file (from an already made amazon script). Here is my script right now...

Hi, Basically i have an index page with two frame, a navigation frame for the top and a main frame for the information, i have a drop down menu in the navigation frame. But the problem is, the drop down menu cant all bee seen when it drops over the main frame. Does anyone know a solution to this problem, i tried using an Iframe instead of normal frames, but that leaves a big gap between the end of the drop down menu and the start of the information.

Any help appreciated, thanks. Hey, Kinda new to this so bare with me. Im using Trellian web page to do some updating on our companies' website and they just asked me to make up a sort of parts catalog for our inventory we have here. I thought the best way for the person visiting the website to find the parts they need is to have drop down menus.Ive been trying so hard to make this but i just keep failing. This is what i want to do. The first one would ask "Make..." they would click that and scroll down the list to find the Make of their machine. Once they click their machine, another drop down menu would appear underneath of that asking the model and the menu would contain all the models associated with the make of the machine. And i want to have another one appear under that once they click on the model. Is there anything or any place where i can find a nice tutorial on how to make this dream come true.....? something like this http://www.wengers.com/Parts/TractorParts.aspx I have a drop down menu on my page, and I want to change the background color of the box from white to match the rest of the page, how do I do this.

If so, where do I start? Regards, YahtzeeFish I have the following drop down menu. HTML Code: <form> <select name="menu" style="font-family:'Arial';color:#FFFFFF;background-color:#000000;font-size:10pt;"> <option value="no link no action">title of menu</option> <option value="url 1">link 1</option> <option value="url 2">link 2</option> <option value="url 3">link 3</option> <option value="url 4">link 4</option> </select> <input type="button" onClick="location=this.form.menu.options[this.form.menu.selectedIndex].value;" value="GO" style="font-family:'Arial';color:#FFFFFF;background-color:#000000;font-size:10pt;"> </form> Here is a screen capture of what the menu looks like. It's at this point I want no action to take place when "go" is clicked. As it is now (above code) it refreshes current page. My question is how do I change this so that the first "option" has no action when chosen and then "go" is clicked. As is is right now it refreshes the current page being that between the quotes <option value=" HERE ">title of menu</option> there isn't a link because I don't want this option to do anything. Basically when the drop down menu shows "title of menu" and I click on "go" I want nothing to happen instead of a refresh. Hello All, I am new to coding and looking to self teach myself with the help of this forum so I can design my own web site. I am looking for the best solution for searching a database. The database will for example contain USA States and Cities with the final result being an item or thing etc. that the search criteria points to. Let's say for example I want to know where all the Dentists are in the State of Maryland. I found this example below and It creates the option to choose a state however how do you make it accept your choice once chosen and go to the next webpage for the next lookup or whatever you decide to have it do next. I guess what I am asking is how do you make a Search or Go button take you to your drop down search criteria. <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN"> <html><head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=unicode"> <meta content="MSHTML 6.00.2900.3429" name="GENERATOR"></head> <body><select name="state" size="1"> <option value="NA" selected="">Select A State</option> <option value="Blank">--------------------</option> <option value="AL">Alabama</option> <option value="AK">Alaska</option> <option value="AZ">Arizona</option> <option value="AR">Arkansas</option> <option value="CA">California</option> </select> </body></html> Thanks for any assistance...
