Anyone know if you could use another design in the dropdownbox. I.e have another kind of color inte the actual arrow and so on?
 
lardum,

Try using styles (CSS) to achieve the look you want. For isntance:

Code:
<select>
	<option style=&quot;background:red;&quot;>Red Background
	<option style=&quot;background:yellow;&quot;>Yellow Background
	<option style=&quot;background:green;&quot;>Green Background
</select>

For more info on styles, check out the manual at Hope that helps.

I was aware of those. My question was more regarding the actual dropdown list with the arrow. Is it possible to control that design in any way. Maybe using java or something else. Any ideas?
 

You cannot change the design of the arrow.

You can only write your own control which emulates a dropdown. This should be fairly easy to do using JavaScript and some images.

Hope this helps,

Dan
