[protos]

here's my drop down code

CODE

<form name="frmMyChoice" id="frmMyChoice" method="post" action="http://www.freecodesource.com/pages/myspacegenerators/backEndBookmarker.php">
<input type="hidden" name="action" value="getBookmark" />
<input type="hidden" name="uid" value="746d0a53c5754ec6c04ca26355c3440e" />
<select name="inpChoice">
<option value="0">Home</option>
<option value="Pics">View Pics</option>
<option value="Msg">Message Me</option>
<option value="AddFriends">Add Me</option>
<option value="ViewBlog">View Blogs</option>
<option value="ViewFriends">View Friends</option>
<option value="ViewComments">View Comments</option>
<option value="1">my Xanga</option>
<option value="2">Rambling Windbags</option>
</select>
<input type="submit" value="Go" /></form>

It is the standard black text on white background. Can I put stuff in this code or could I add something to my CSS?
