DarkWater Posted September 30, 2008 Share Posted September 30, 2008 works brilliantly in firefox but IE has let me down, any ideas on how to work it in IE? I'm 99% sure that you can't decorate a select menu's text (bold, italics, etc) in IE, but I could be wrong.

xtopolis Posted October 1, 2008 Share Posted October 1, 2008 An browser safe alternative would be to color them differently. Make the ones that standout a more prominent color, like black, while making the less important ones gray.

haku Posted October 1, 2008 Share Posted October 1, 2008 I believe you can't do that in IE either. IE resists styling of option tags. There isn't a way around this with CSS. You *may* be able to use a javascript solution, but I have a feeling that javascript won't even work, as it's still running in an IE environment.
