A client wants a drop down box on a web page that contains 3 list items
"red", "green" & "amber" - is it possible to set the background colour for
each individual item? - any ideas before I tell them no?

cheers

option.someClass { background-color: #aff; color: #ffa; }

#o1{background:red;}
#o2{background:green;}
#o3{background:#FFEA76;}

<option id="o1">blah 1</option>
<option id="o2">blah 2</option>
<option id="o3">blah 3</option>

etc etc

browser support varies. user options may also disallow styling of form
elements.
