how do you get your font property's to change in a drop down list using CSS? lissa doesn't explain it well enough, and when i tried doing the 'input, text area' code in my CSS code it didn't work

try using input, textarea, select and put the font code in there. If that doesn't work trying adding 'form' to the list as well.

select {
font-family: verdana, whatever;
etc
}
would work fine. or just put
body, select {
that would make the dropdown box the same as your body.

danka danka danka!!!! IT WORKED! but now i need help with this...my first drop down list works, but the next two don't...i think it's because im using the Lissa Explains code and so they're all "lissamenu3" but I don't know what to change to make it work (i've already tried naming them something else, that didn't work)

<form ACTION=URI>
<select name=lissamenu3
onchange="location.href=(form.lissamenu3.options[form.lissamenu3.selectedIndex].value)">
<option value="0"> Choose One</option>
<option value="0"></option> (This line adds a space in your menu)
<option value="http://www.lissaexplains.com"> Home</option>
<option value="http://www.lissaexplains.com/basics.shtml"> Basics</option>
<option value="http://www.lissaexplains.com/tools.shtml"> Links</option>
</select>
</form>

You have to change all the bold parts. The easiest way might be to just change the number to 1, 2, etc for each menu you have.

Could you post a link to the page in question or the code?
