How to change the text color of first select optio

问题:

I have a select element which has several items. I want to change the color of its first item. But it seems the color only shows when you click on the select dropdown. What I want is changed the color(like color gray) when the page is loaded so users can see the first option color changed.

See the example here... http://jsbin.com/acucan/4/

Thanks for the answer! It's the very first time I post question here. Sorry about my English. I hope that I make the question clear.

Thanks

What about this:

select{
  width: 150px;
  height: 30px;
  padding: 5px;
  color: green;
}
select option { color: black; }
select option:first-child{
  color: green;
}

If the first item is to be used as a placeholder (empty value) and your select is required then you can use the :invalid pseudo-class to target it.

select {
  -webkit-appearance: menulist-button;
  color: black;
}

select:invalid {
  color: green;
}

<select required>
  <option value="">Item1</option>
  <option value="Item2">Item2</option>
  <option value="Item3">Item3</option>
</select>

You can do this by using CSS: JSFiddle

HTML:

<select>
    <option>Text 1</option>
    <option>Text 2</option>
    <option>Text 3</option>
</select>

CSS:

select option:first-child { color:red; }

Or if you absolutely need to use JavaScript (not adviced for this): JSFiddle

JavaScript:

$(function() {
    $("select option:first-child").addClass("highlight");
});

CSS:

.highlight { color:red; }

I really wanted this (placeholders should look the same for text boxes as select boxes!) and straight CSS wasn't working in Chrome. Here is what I did:

First make sure your select tag has a .has-prompt class.

Then initialize this class somewhere in document.ready.

# Adds a class to select boxes that have prompt currently selected.
# Allows for placeholder-like styling.
# Looks for has-prompt class on select tag.
Mess.Views.SelectPromptStyler = Backbone.View.extend
  el: 'body'

  initialize: ->
    @$('select.has-prompt').trigger('change')

  events:
    'change select.has-prompt': 'changed'

  changed: (e) ->
    select = @$(e.currentTarget)
    if select.find('option').first().is(':selected')
      select.addClass('prompt-selected')
    else
      select.removeClass('prompt-selected')

Then in CSS:

select.prompt-selected {
  color: $placeholder-color;
}

Here is a way so that when you select an option, it turns black. When you change it back to the placeholder, it turns back into the placeholder color (in this case red).

It requires the options to have values.

$('select').on('change', function() {
  if ($(this).val()) {
return $(this).css('color', 'black');
  } else {
return $(this).css('color', 'red');
  }
});

select{
  color: red;
}
select option { color: black; }

<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<select>
<option value="">Pick one...</option>
<option value="test1">Test 1</option>
<option value="test2">Test 2</option>
<option value="test3">Test 3</option>
</select>
