Recommend Firefox. MSIE "Select" dropdown/list controls don't show background as stated by Msoft: http://msdn.microsoft.com/workshop/autho... >> Except for "background-color" and "color", style settings applied through the style object for the option element are ignored. Also, a propietary MSIE style "scrollbar-arrow-color" and all other scrollbar related styles don't show for "select" based controls. http://msdn.microsoft.com/workshop/autho... With Firefox you can set style="background-image: url( myImage.jpg)" If you want a colorful dropdown control for .NET and MSIE only, you can try this link http://www.codeproject.com/aspnet/HtmlCo...
