[WSG] Setting a class for a Select Option list

[Cole Kuryakin - x7m]

I'm using a PHP script to set a class on a particular select item if nothing has been selected from the list (form validation routine).   It works fine in IE, but doesn't in Firefox and Netscape - apparently something I'm doing wrong.   Maybe I'm putting the class in the wrong place? Maybe my element hook (select option.error) is wrong?   I can't figure it out.   Here's a snippet of the source from the select list (Class position shown in red):   <td class="label">Country:</td><td>            <select name="country" size="1">          <option value="0" class="error">Choose your country:</option>          <option value="Argentina">Argentina</option>          <option value="Australia">Australia</option>          <option value="Austria">Austria</option>          <option value="Bahamas">Bahamas</option>          <option value="Belgium">Belgium</option>       </select> </td>   Real easy - if someone doesn't choose a country from the list, the validation routine sets the class of the default option (Choose your country:) to class "error" which is suppose to turn the background of that line light red.   Here's the rule:   input.error, select option.error, textarea.error {  background-color: #FFD0DC; }   Like I said, it works perfect in IE, color doesn't change, however, in FF or Netscape.   Can anyone see what I'm doing wrong?
