new option()

[cha0sriderx]

im using new option() to create options in a combo box, is there anyway i can add a class or just make it so the font color is different?

you can do this through javascript or css.

 

JavaScript Version:

 

<script language="javascript">
function changecolor(selection)
{
document.getElementById(selection).style.color="red";
}
window.onload=function() {
changecolor('select1');
}
</script>

<select id="select1">
<option value="text value">Text Here
</select>

 

or..........

 

<script language="javascript">
function changecolor()
{
document.getElementsByTagName('select')[0].style.color="red";
}
window.onload=function() {
changecolor();
}
</script>

<select>
<option value="text value">Text Here
</select>

 

CSS Version:

 

<style type="text/css">
SELECT {color:red}
</style>

<select>
<option value="text value">Text Here
</select>

you could also do this:

 

<script language="javascript">
function changecolor()
{
var i="0";
var myselection = document.getElementsByTagName('select')[i].style.color='#FF0000';
for(i;i<myselection.length;i++)
{
  document.getElementsByTagName('select')[i].style.color='#FF0000';
}
}
// Load Event
window.onload=function() {
changecolor();
}
// Error Catching
window.onerror=function() {
return true;
}
</script>

<select>
<option value="text value">Text Here
<option value="text value">Text Here
<option value="text value">Text Here
</select>

<select>
<option value="text value">Text Here
<option value="text value">Text Here
<option value="text value">Text Here
</select>

<select>
<option value="text value">Text Here
<option value="text value">Text Here
<option value="text value">Text Here
</select>

 

this javascript version will let you have multiple select/combo boxes with out you having to set the array key for each select menu every time; as in the other javascript, that I created above, that was similar to this one.
