djfox Posted May 17, 2008 Share Posted May 17, 2008 Each item in the drop down menu needs to have different colours. This person I`m building a mini site for does not know html colour codes, so I want the colours to be visible in a drop down menu so that he can change the colours of his font to whatever he wants. But he needs to see what the colours are.

wrongmove18 Posted May 22, 2008 Share Posted May 22, 2008 it's impossible to do that. you need to create a div replacing it. go to this site -> http://ajaxload.info/ the drop down has images, maybe you can get an idea in that.

AndyB Posted May 22, 2008 Share Posted May 22, 2008 it's impossible to do that. Try this, then: <select name="color"> <option style="background-color:#000000" value="#000000" >black</option> <option style="background-color:#000080" value="#000080" >navy</option> <option
