Default alternating colors in a DropDown/List Box

Hello All,

Is it possible to have alternating color font for DropDown/List box in
html?

I have an FatClient application written in C, and I am trying to
webify it. The application uses alternative color fonts in a
dropdown/list box. So I was hoping to do the same for the web
application.

Thanks.
Sarah.

No. But you can use CSS, with the usual caveats, and this in turn
requires some modifications to HTML, since otherwise you cannot
indicate which <option> elements are to be styled.

For example, add class="even" to the 2nd, 4th, etc. <option>

For example, add class="even" to the 2nd, 4th, etc. <option> element
and use
..even { color: black; background: #ffc; }
in CSS.

Default Looking for a link checker that can handle login forms etc

Hello All,

I am looking for a program that checks for broken links on a webpage (I know
there are many of these tools) but I havenīt found any tool that can handle
login-forms and popup windows yet.

Scenario: The Program shall open the site www.example.com , "click" on a
login link, insert the login information and keep the cookie while searching
for the broken links.

P.S It doesnīt matter if its freeware, shareware or "regular" paysoft.

Thanks for your help in advance!

Peter Ossmann

it would be wrong for any general-purpose spidering tool to submit a Form.

But if by the above you mean submit Basic Authentication credentials, it's a
one-line change to Link Valet - or (probably) any other program that uses LWP.

Cookie? Sounds like you have a proprietary login system. More details
needed for a meaningful reply.
