You can refer to all <optionelements in a document using the selector
option
I'm pretty sure this wasn't your _real_ question. But since you don't
specify what you are aiming at and what you have tried, I just answered the
question you asked.

If you don't understand the question, or just want to be sarcastic,
please don't waste mine and everyone else's time.

| That pretty much answers the question then - when I researched this on
the web, the postings I found were a couple of years old. I didn't
know if someone came up with a way to pull this sort of thing off in
IE or not (as per my previous posting). It works fine in other
browsers I tested (firefox, safari, chrome).
I've seen it done before, but only using javascript to force it in all
browsers. I wanted to try avoid doing that, but it seems that won't
be possible.

Plan C: A more practical solution if you must have this "feature" is to
inject into the option text.

| Not surprising - Opera has always been a little sketchy where it comes
to styling form controls.
