Customize jumpmenu with css

[dogio]

Hi everyone,
I'm alex from italy and this is my first post in this forum.
I am not very familiar with CSS, but am trying to put together a webpage that uses CSS and a jump menu.
My question is :can CSS offer a total means of controlling the look of the jump menu?
Is it possible to change the background color and the scrollbar color of select box?.
If anyone has a suggestion I'd be grateful.

Welcome to WebmasterWorld, Alex!

You can control the background colour of the select element using CSS:

select { 
  background: #ccc; 
  color: #F00; 
  font-weight: bold; 
  } 

Here the background colour will be grey, however IE will not follow the text style (Gecko engined browsers will though).

The scrollbar on a select list is inherited from the users OS, and therefore cannot be coloured using CSS.
