Hello,

I’ve been wrestling for a day on modifying a simple little dropdown box script. You’d think it would be easy, but nooooooooooooooooo, not in my world!

Okay, here’s the deal:

I want to have a simple dropdown menu box, but be able to change the colour of the down arrow button on the right…but MOST IMPORTANTLY the highlight colour. It seems to me, every one I find on the net is blue. It just looks awful with my website, and I’d really like to have it changed.

Thanks so much. I believe I’m going to hear that it isn’t possible to fix the highlight colour, but I figured someone would know for sure here. You all are great!

Jason
