    I have this css :
    option:hover {
        background-color : #336600;
        color : #ffffff;
    }
    HTML:
    This changes the backgrund color when I hover over an option in a select element. When I select an option it changes back to blue and I can't find a way to change this. Anyone got any idea?

    Option - by the CSS specification, does not accept style. I believe firefox will incorrectly apply this, but don't count on it ever working in any other browser. Like most form elements, the specification doesn't say how ANY of them are supposed to accept style, if at all - so every browser maker went their own direction making them all behave and appear differently...

    Basically, your **** outta luck.
