Color Coding Select Options

[mgifford]

Can I color code options in a drop down box in the Response.Write. I tried this but it doesn't work:

Response.Write " <select name=status id=status>"
Response.Write " <font color='0000FF'><option value='Open'>Open"
Response.Write " <font color='008000'><option value='In Progress'>In Progress"
Response.Write " <font color='000080'><option value='Closed'>Closed"
Response.Write " </select>"

Is this possible?

Have you tried at least to use the </font> tag at the end of each option line ?

Thanks for the suggestion but I tried that and they are still all black. Any other thoughts?

color='0000FF'
Don't sure about the syntax.
Just to see what happens, try to use named color, like color='blue'

Hello mqifford,

Use style like this.
Response.Write " <option value='Open' style='color:#0000FF'>Open"
etc...
