I'm trying to display a small "color square" to the left of each combo box
choice. I know I can make each choice have a different background color, but
is it possible to display a background image for each row? In my code below,
I'm trying to display img_color1.gif which is a 5 pixel wide by 10 pixel
high transparent gif with a small color square on the background of a
choice.
My end goal is to have an Outlook looking combo box like the "LABEL" option
on outlook 2003's calendar event.
<style>
.cboColor1 {
background: url('http://www.mileslumber .net/images/img_color1.gif' )
no-repeat;
}
.cboColor2 {
background: url( http://www.mileslumber.net/images/img_color1.gif) right
top
}
.cboColor3 {
list-style-type: disc; color:#3A3E59
}
</style>
' HTML Combo below
<select size="1" name="cboColors ">
<option value="1">Choic e 1</option>
<option value="2" style="backgrou nd-color:blue; color:white">Ch oice
2</option>
<option value="3" class="cboColor 1">Choice 3</option>
<option value="4" class="cboColor 2">Choice 4</option>
<option value="5" style="backgrou nd:
url('http://www.myweb.com/images/img_color1.gif' ) no-repeat;
color:white">Ch oice 5</option>
<option value="6" class="cboColor 3">Choice 6</option> 5  1524

No. Color is possible for some browsers, but a background image is not.
Nesting an img element in the option element is not will not work either.

I'm not sure I agree. YOUR FAVORITE browser may not support it. But if the
browser offers full CSS2 support, a background image should be allowed on
option elements:
'background-image'
Value: <uri> | none | inherit
Initial: none
===> Applies to: all elements
Inherited: no
Percentages: N/A
Media: visual
Computed value: absolute URI http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/colors.ht...ckground-image

My favorite browsers are Opera 8 and Firefox 1.0, which both support CSS2
(IIRC FF supports some CSS3), but I could not get a background image to
show in either of those browsers, nor IE. I would imagine the browsers do
not support it perhaps because of having to draw the images and the height
of the option element. What would a browser do with an image that was
100px high? Cut if off, expand the option element's height? With color,
there is nothing to draw, really.

I don't think anyone makes the claim that Firefox has FULL CSS2 support.
Opera claims "In compliance with W3C standards," but does make specific
conformance claims. Perhaps Opera distinguishes between W3C Recommendations
and Specifications. ..

The default display behavior would be in effect. What does the browser do
for any other element with a background image? Put another way, why do you
suppose there are style attributes background-repeat and
background-position?

Hello. I have just enrolled in a Visual Basic class, so please

The illustrations in my textbook indicate that they can choose the
form that they have created in the Class View and, to the right of
that, they can choose one or more **specifically-named** event
procedure(s) that they have written for various objects (ie.,
btnPush_Click).

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
