I want to display a drop-down list (System.Web.UI.WebControls.DropDownList)
loaded with font names the user can select (Verdana, Garamond, etc)... got
this far no problem.
Now I'd like to have the list show ListItem styled with the font being
listed (ie., the "Verdana" ListItem is styled as Verdana).
Here's my code that doesn't work. Note fontFaces is a string array that
lists the fonts being loaded into the DDL).
for (int i=0; i < (fontFaces.GetUpperBound(0)); i++) {
System.Web.UI.WebControls.ListItem nextItem = new ListItem(fontFaces[i]);
nextItem.Attributes.CssStyle.Add("font-family", fontFaces[i]);
DDL_Fonts.Items.Add(nextItem);
}
What would it take to accomplish the effect I'm after?
Thanks!

nextItem.Attributes["style"]=String.Format ("font-family:'{0}'",
fontFaces[i]);

try with no strokes:
nextItem.Attributes["style"]=String.Format ("font-family:{0}",
fontFaces[i]);
should work.

still no dice... The DDL gets populated with the list of fonts as expected -
just not styled.
Here is all my code - exactly as I have it - including your most recent
suggestion.
IN CODE-BEHIND (executes in Page_Load if not PostBack):
string[] fontFaces = dataClass.GetFontsList();
for (int i=0; i < (fontFaces.GetUpperBound(0) + 1); i++) {
System.Web.UI.WebControls.ListItem nextItem = new ListItem(fontFaces[i]);
nextItem.Attributes["style"]=String.Format ("font-family:{0}",
fontFaces[i]);
DDL_txtFont.Items.Add(nextItem);
}
IN HTML:
<asp:DropDownList CssClass="ddlText1" id="DDL_txtFont" AutoPostBack="false"
EnableViewState="true" Width="150px" runat="server"></asp:DropDownList>

Bad news. DDL emits html <select> with an <option> for every ListItem. And
<option> doesn't support font settings in style.
You can tricking it by using stylesheets with class= unstead of style=. I
doubt it will help though.

Please note that in the HTML in my last post the following attribute was
included in the DDL declaration: CssClass="ddlText1"
I removed that - and the problem still persists (i.e., no styling as
expected from the code-behind).

You can do this kind of thing using Javascript; check out http://webfx.eae.net/dhtml/select/jsGenerated.html (for IE)
If you are using a gecko browser you can probably get the font-size directly using CSS.
