How would I go about highlighting changed things

[Rifts]

I have a dropdown box which is populated from my database. is there anyway to have a name from the dropdown box be highlighted if something is changed in the database for that user?

You can apply a background color to the option in question:

HTML:

<select name="select">
<option value="1" >id1</option>
<option value="2" class="changed">id2</option>
<option value="3" >id3</option>
</select>

CSS:

option.changed
{
  background-color:red;
}
