<SELECT><OPTION > tags

13 New Member
I have a drop down on a web page and want to change the cursor from default to pointer, so my style definition has

style ="cursor: pointer;"

the drop down though fails to change from the default curor. I've tryed applying the style to the <select> tag and to the <option> tags to no avail.

It should work. Can we see that part of the markup?

if you want "pointer" why do you have "move"? What browser are you using?

Hi, I'm new here ( Hi all ), and my problem is: Is possible to change layout of drop-down list made with <select> & <option> tags. I don't like this ugly gray arrow, slider etc. in normal dropdown element. I tried the same way like for eq. <input> but in case of <select> it dosen't work.

Hi. I've been using display:none on the style property of some <option> elements in my forms, which works fine with Mozilla - as expected it removes the option from my dropdown (although it still exists in the code). Is there an equivalent in IE? The reasoning behind this is that I want users to rank objects using a <select> for each place (see below), and to remove the choice of earlier objects from <select> drop-downs later in the...

This is a nasty one and I can't see my way out of it. I have a bunch of select statements in a form, and each select statement has an onchange="do_something(this)" in it, and this works nicely..except when there is only ONE OPTION in a given select. It seems you cannot 'onchange' a single option! Well, that is reasonable. The trouble is I have no way of selecting it since the form itself is a

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
