menus, help me please Options

[slayerangel]

On the song chooser and posting calendar menus on my Xanga, you have to put your mouse over the text (highlighting the text) to actually make the options visible.

My Xanga

Is there a way I can make the text visible when you click on the drop down menu without having to highlight the text to see it? I'm not sure I'm explaining this clearly.

here's something i tried. it may not work the way you want it to, but have fun playing around with it:

Custom Header

haha, sorry, i just reread you question and realized i just completly wasted my time.
i thought you were asking about the navigation stuff you have, like your 'cry me a river.'

i thought that was what you meant, because im using mozilla, and it worked fine. when i viewed it in IE i saw what you meant. i have no idea what you should do about it, but feel free to use the code i gave. its pretty much the only semi-original thing i have, so don't steal it please.

btw, in mozilla, but not in IE, your header (the song chooser and buffy banners) are displayed twice. im not sure why, but it looks stupid. also, the alert at the load of the page is annoying, and the disabled right mouse click is pointless. people can view your source or copy stuff many other ways.

well i know u have to edit in your css, lolz, but hold on, let me find wat it is.

Try This

Just put it Under Your Music, or after all your css stuff

CODE

<!-- begin code provided by createblog.com -->

<style type="text/css">
input, select, textarea, .textfield, .button {
/* this edits the buttons, dropdowns, etc. */
 border: 1px solid #FF0000;
 font:normal 11px arial;
 background-color: #000000;
 letter-spacing:0px;
 color: #FF0000;
 }

I can't do anything about the banner in mozilla. Sorry. I know the no-right-click is definitely pointless 'cause people can use View Source (I do that too), but it's just fun having it there, lol. It's fun. I'm weird . I like the alert at the beginning. I'll keep it.

Thanks for giving me that code, anyway .

Thanks, aznhybriddragon, I'll try it now .

EDIT: Yayness! It worked! Thanks again.
