drop down form background color

  1. I'm trying to edit the background color for when you hover (or select) over items on this drop down list (SUBJECT) on this page:

    Right now they are blue (yesterday they had a grey gradient and I didn't change anything).
    What I tried (2 of many attempts - which didn't do anything at all)
    1)

    body.custom .gform_wrapper .chzn-container-multi .chzn-choices .search-choice{
      background: -moz-linear-gradient(0% 170% 90deg, #F5AE28, #EFC940) repeat scroll 0 0 transparent !important;
       background: -webkit-gradient(linear, 0% 0%, 0% 170%, from(#F5AE28), to(#EFC940)) !important;
    }

    2)

    body.custom chzn-container .chzn-results .highlighted {
    background-color: #000!important;
    }

  3. Styling the select element is very very limited across different browsers. Some styles work or kind of work in some browsers while not at all in others. That's why you see lots of select element "replacement" scripts which use styled, unordered lists to present the options. Without using some kind of option like that, you're not going to have much control on the presentation of the select element.

  5. You're welcome. Sorry I couldn't offer much more. It's just one of those form controls that's really limited when it comes to pure CSS manipulation. Best of luck with it.
