Drop Down List with items of different color.

[UJ]

Is there a way to have items in a drop down list where certain items are a
different color?

How about having items that are strikethrough?

TIA - Jeff.

If what you want is like : http://asp.net.do/test/dropdowncolor.aspx

....all you need to do is add :

<option style="color: blue;">One</option>

....to your options.

Here's a handy list of HTML color names :

Thanks. But I'm binding a table to the items. Even if I do it row by row,
how can I set the options for the items that I add?

re:

What would stop you from assigning html text to surround the database items retrieved ?

Basically, you'd want to create an array of the colors you want to display,
and substitute the array's values in sequential writes.

Post the code you are using to retrieve the items.
