Style Tag Help

Hi,
I've changed all the pages that have forms so they have black backgrounds with green text, but I can't change the catagory dropdown box. This is what I have for the add.html file:

Code:
<table border ="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"> 
        <tr><td align="right" valign="top">Title:</td> 
                <td><input name="Title" size="50" STYLE="background:000000" STYLE="color:00FF00"></td></tr> 
        <tr><td align="right" valign="top">URL:</td> 
                <td><input name="URL" value="http://" size="50" STYLE="background:000000" STYLE="color:00FF00"></td></tr> 
        <tr><td align="right" valign="top">Category:</td> 
                <td><%Category%></td></tr> 
        <tr><td align="right" valign="top">Description:</td> 
                <td><textarea wrap="virtual" name="Description" value="" rows="3" cols="42" STYLE="background:000000" STYLE="color:00FF00"></textarea></td></tr> 
        <tr><td align="right" valign="top">Contact Name:</td> 
                <td><input name="Contact Name" value="" size="40" STYLE="background:000000" STYLE="color:00FF00"></td></tr>					            
        <tr><td align="right" valign="top">Contact Email:</td> 
                <td><input name="Contact Email" value="" size="40" STYLE="background:000000" STYLE="color:00FF00"></td></tr>					            
        <tr><td></td><td><input type="SUBMIT" value="Add Resource" STYLE="background:000000" STYLE="color:00FF00"></td></tr> 
</table>

Does anyone know what file I need to dig into and where, to add the tag?

This is the tag by the way:
STYLE="background:000000" STYLE="color:00FF00"

Also, I'm not using links.css

Thanks

Trent

Hi

I don't think any browsers support the setting of colours for drop down menus.

BTW this uses less text and is more correct:

STYLE="color:#00FF00;background:#000000"

Hi Chris,
Actually, I've been able to change the background color and font color for all my forms,
including drop down boxes throughout my website. The only one I'm having trouble with,
is the catagory dropdown in add.html and modify.html.

I'm leary of messing with the other files without knowledegable help,
since it was such a nightmare to get Links transfered to my new host.

Anyone else have an idea what file I need to edit to include this tag?

Thanks

Trent
