How would you do this? I can't remember as I learnt about it a couple of years ago.

A drop down list has 5 colours on it, how would I change the colour when I choose a different one on the list.

<Select>

<option id="00FF00">Green</option>
<option id="FFFF00">Yellow</option>
<option id="000000">Black</option>
<option id="A020F0">Purple</option>
<option id="CC3232">Orange</option>

</Select>

That's what it currently looks like.

There is no way to do this with css/html. You have to use a Javascript/jQuery library or use unordered lists w/ javascript and jquery.

Check this out: http://harvesthq.github.io/chosen/ . It makes select boxes amazing.

And this one is even better: http://ivaynberg.github.io/select2/

Thanks, I'll check it out when I get home.

No problem, let me know if you need additional help.
