Dropdown Box?

[FacePuncher 1,343]

so i borrowed a dropdown box code from the SBA and put it on this site. I'm just wondering, how do you make the background color change? everything worked fine for the drop down box except that

<div align="center">
    <select style="background-color:green; color:blue; font-family:Times; font-size: 12px; width:402px; "><option>Bogdan Podarok || RW || Bratislava Watchmen || #17 || 108 TPE</option><option>NAME: Bogdan Podarok(Богдан Подарок)</option>&gt;<option>HEIGHT: 5&#39;11&quot;</option><option>WEIGHT: 172 lbs.</option><option>NUMBER: 17</option><option>------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------</option><option>S46(Saskatoon) - GP: 19 | G: 1 | A: 7 | +/-: -9 | PIM: 6 | HIT: 26 | SHT: 30 | SB: 21 |</option><option>S47(Bratislava) - GP: 63 | G: 32 | A: 30 | +/-: 23 | PIM: 34 | HIT: 127 | SHT: 292 | SB: 50 |</option></select>

<select style="background-color:green; color:blue;  

first part is the color of the background, the second is the color of the text

i know that part. im just wondering why its not working for the background color. do i have a syntax error or maybe just cant use the color green?

wow that shit actually works now, haven't seen that since the invisionfree days round these parts

[FacePuncher 1,343]

i just thought it looked cool haha. saw it a lot in the SBA and wanted to see if it would work in the VHL

[Tim 182]

try using hexadec colors, see if that works.

If you want the actual select box to be green add background: none; before the background-color: green or just remove the -color so that it's background: green

I know this is old but how did you do yours? I tried to get mine up and running and it was just all text/code.

Do you have the source button?

Sometimes I think I did/do. Not currently though so that's probably why. Good call.

Yeah Ik something weird happened, apparently I had it when I wasn't supposed to, then Draper did something that I didn't understand.

 

you could ask @Draper about it he should now about this

Right now the source button is restricted because of secuirty. IPB recommends that it shouldn't be made available because of the danger that comes with being able to post in raw HTML. 

 

There is a possible solution via an add-on that I'm looking into. In the meantime if you PM your code I can likely put it in your sig for you

Okay, it's not a huge deal. I'll come up with some code and get back to you though. Thanks a lot.

I can still give you the code, it just won't really work without the source button

I have something else I'm working on instead of the dropdown currently. I'll let you know though.
