Drop Down Menu Colors

[8mycsh]

I am new to this board so if this doesn't get posted in the right place...I am sorry. Anyway on to my problem. I have a drop down menu on a site and I was wondering if I can change the color of the arrow? I know the script for changing the navigation bars to the right of the screen but is it possible to do that to the arrow of a drop down menu? Can someone help me out!

Thanks

Dave is 100% right.
You can though change the font and background color.

If you enable XBL bindings for form elements in Gecko, you can change the dropdown arrow through css with an image of your own.

Could you show me an example of that,please?

Well firstly, do you have an installation of Mozilla? If you do, look at /pathTo/Mozilla/res/forms.css

For example, on my computer it is:
file:///F:/Program%20Files/mozilla.org/Mozilla/res/forms.css

There is where you can see how form widgets are created.

This in particuklar is what seems to be significant to your question:

select > input[type="button"] {
  width: 12px;
  height: 12px;
  white-space: nowrap;
  -moz-user-focus: none;

  position: static !important;
  background-image: url("arrow.gif") !important;
  background-repeat: no-repeat !important;
  background-position: center !important;
}

select > input[type="button"]:active {
  background-image: url("arrowd.gif") !important;
}

Keep in mind, Mozilla users are < 1% of all web surfers, and on top that, the number of people enabling XBL form widgets I can probably count on my fingers and toes. I may be surprised though....

The code that you posted can be found in resource://res/forms.css ,and yeah,I don't think anyone actually uses XBL based form elements.
