Dynamic List/Menu Customization

[slegendre]

I’ve been racking my brain on how to customize a normal list/menu item. I have a dynamic menu that pulls all 50 US states from my database. So initially the menu is set at [select a state] when you click the menu list drops down and you can choose your state.

When you create a list/menu item, it always has the same black font and white background, how can I change this?

Any help would be appreciated.

If all you are looking at doing is changing the colour scheme then you can use CSS attached to the SELECT member, or the actual OPTION member.

I am, of course, assuming you are using SELECT as your dropdown menu.

NOTE: Some browsers and/or versions will not alter the SELECT with CSS. You will probably get a mixture of results across the board, but most will look ok.

Thanks Glen, I'll give it a shot and repost.

Evenually, i'd like to create the state icons next to the state name, but this is a little out of my reach 😃

SELECT members can not support images ...so if you want to do that, then you have to start using DHTML for creating menus etc :)

SoThink has a great little product for making DHTML menus, and with a little tweaking it works well with CF and has plugins for DreamWeaver and Frontpage etc.
