Drop down list box colour
in [Tables]
|
From: Billiam on 3 Jul 2008 14:48 I have a bound drop down list box which displays 7 set choices: Active, Interim, On Leave, suspended, de-certifed, resigned and deceased. I would like to add colour to some of the choices, so the items are noticed more easily (ie the colour red is the background to the choice Suspended, the colour green is the background to the choice Active). Can this be done within the same drop down list box? Billiam
