    copied!<p>Internet explorer 6 seems totally ignore CSS classes or rules on select, option or optgroup tags.</p> <p>Is there a way to bypass that limitation (except install a recent version of IE) ?</p> <p><strong>Edit</strong> : to be more precise, I'm trying to build a hierarchy between options like that example:</p> <p>Here's the HTML snippet :</p> <pre><code>&lt;select name="hierarchicalList" multiple="multiple"&gt; &lt;option class="group niv0"&gt;Os developers&lt;/option&gt; &lt;option class="group niv1"&gt;Linux&lt;/option&gt; &lt;option class="user niv2"&gt;Linus Torvald&lt;/option&gt; &lt;option class="user niv2"&gt;Alan Cox&lt;/option&gt; &lt;option class="group niv1"&gt;Windows&lt;/option&gt; &lt;option class="user niv2"&gt;Paul Allen&lt;/option&gt; &lt;option class="user niv2"&gt;Bill Gates&lt;/option&gt; &lt;option class="group niv1"&gt;Mac Os&lt;/option&gt; &lt;option class="user niv2"&gt;Steve Wozniaz&lt;/option&gt; &lt;/select&gt; </code></pre> <p>And here's CSS rules, that works fine on a recent browser (like FF3) but not working at all on IE6 :</p> <pre><code> select option { line-height: 10px; } select option.group { font-weight: bold; background: url(path_to_group_icon.gif) no-repeat; padding-left: 18px; } select option.user { background: url(path_to_user_icon.gif) no-repeat; padding-left: 18px; } select option.niv0 { margin-left: 0px; } select option.niv1 { margin-left: 10px; } select option.niv2 { margin-left: 20px; } </code></pre>
