select object question

[Orson]

First off I would like to second Leslie's vote of thanks to this NG. The
group is indeed a godsend to anyone trying to master css.

Right now I am wondering if someone can tell me if there is any way to
change the color of the background strip that highlights the option selected
in a select object. I don't recall having ever seen any color except green.
Thanks
Orson

In theory:

option:hover, option:focus { background-color: blue; }

I'd expect very limited browser support though.

It does not seem to work in IE6 .
