Hello,
I have a drop down box and I would like to change the font of "Please select your number" to red. Is this possible?
Here is the code:
<select size="1" name="Number" id="Number">
<option value="No Selection">--Please select your number--</option>
<option value="Num1">Num 1</option>
<option value="Num2">Num 2</option>
<option value="Num3">Num 3</option>
</select>
Thank you.

Hi shensch
Be glad to help.
Firstly, We create a style sheet, and place it within the head of your document. I have mad one for you, which you can change as you need to. Simply copy and paste the entire tag into your doc, just before the </head> tag.
<style type="text/css">
<!--
.yourStyle {
font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 10px;
font-weight: bold;
color: #993300;
background-color: #FFFFCC;
height: 20px;
width: 300px;
}
-->
</style>
<!--End Paste here -->
Then simply refer to this style in your form object. I have not amended your original select list, except for setting the first option, 'Please select your number' as initially selected. You can copy and paste the select list box and paste it into your doc.
<!--Start paste here -->
<select name="Number" size="1" class="yourStyle" id="Number">
<option value="No Selection" selected>--Please select your number--</option>
<option value="Num1">Num 1</option>
<option value="Num2">Num 2</option>
<option value="Num3">Num 3</option>
</select>
<!--End Paste here -->
I hope this helps.
Kind Regards
A.
Lobo is right, if you have any further questions of this nature, you will get quicker answers if you post it in the HTML of CSS sections.

Hi shensch,
Yes, it is possible. However, your question belongs in the Web Development Topic Area and it would be better if you posted a CS request to have it moved to that TA.
