Highlighting DropDownList ItemsI am creating a DropDownList of people's names and address. Each item will be a combination of the individual's name and address. if a person has two addresses, his/her name will appear twice, once with the first address and once with the second. I need to highlight the first occurance of each name. I could bold it, change the text color to blue or purple (or another color). The point is that it has to stand out. Does anyone have a suggestion on how to do this? I have tried using the following code to hoghlight first items and have had no luck. If FirstItemFormatted Then li.Attributes.Add("style", "color:black") Else li.Attributes.Add("style", "color:blue") FirstItemFormatted = True End If I would appreciate any help that you could offer.

What does it show? It should look like this to accomplish what you want: <option style="color:blue">test</option> -- Rob Schieber Rob,
I have looked at the source. It doesn't show the style attribute at all. BTW, I'm using Framework 1.1. -- Show quoteHide quoteJoe VB.NET/C#/ASP.NET/ASP/VB/C++/Web and DB development/VBA Automation "Rob Schieber" wrote: > Joe wrote: > > Hello All, > > > > I am creating a DropDownList of people's names and address.
