ColdFusion , CSS 1 Comment »
If you haven't tried out the cfUniForm tag library by Matt Quackenbush, I highly recommend it. Version 2.3 includes some nice updates proposed by Bob Silverberg, including the addition of optgroup to select lists. I don't like the default italic style for an optgroup label, so when I use it, I add a simple css selector to make them a little more visually appealing. For example: optgroup {

} Don't let default optgroup styles drag you down. Make them great with a little CSS.
