For standards compliance, use CSS:
Define the style either at the top of the page or in a linked style sheet.
Changing the background colors by defining a style at top of page would look
like:
<style>
.noselect {background-color: white;}
.complete {background-color: green;}
.pending {background-color: yellow;}
.stalled {background-color: red;}
</style>
Then when writing your page, use a function to apply the format, such as ...
function choose_status() {
if(isset($_POST['submitted'])) {
if($_POST['choose status'] == 0) {
echo 'class="pending"';
} elseif($_POST['choose status'] == 1) {
echo 'class="stalled"';
} elseif($_POST['choose status'] == 2) {
echo 'class="complete"';
} else { echo 'class="noselect"';
}
} else {
echo 'class="noselect"':\
}
For instance, the dropdown could be written:
<p>Status: <select size="1" name="choose status" <?php choose_status() ?> >
<option value="0">Pending</option>
<option value="1">Stalled</option>
<option value="2">Complete</option>
</select>
May you always have enough,
Shay
