<option>s will take a background color, thus:
<select name="menu2">
<option value="0"
style="background-color:#ccf;">Home</option>
<option value="1"
style="background-color:#cfc;">Products List</option>
<option value="2"
style="background-color:#fcc;">Tutorials list</option>
<option value="3">Extensions list</option>
<option value="4">Support</option>
</select>
What you're doing is, I assume, something like this
(pseudocode):
<select name="menu2">
<& start repeat &>
<option value="<& print value
&>"><& print name &></option>
<& end repeat &>
</select>
What you would do:
<select name="menu2">
<& start repeat &>
<option value="<& print value &>"
style="<& print stylename &>"><& print name
&></option>
<& end repeat &>
</select>
This would involve adding a stylename to every record, or if
you
already have something you could use as a stylename, like a
job
description, adding that to the <option> as a class.
Optionally, you could do something like:
<option value="<& print value &>" <&
if class='manager' print 'style="manager"' &>><&
print name &></option>
