list box colour

[hey]

Hello,
How do i change the background colour within a drop down list box? I applied
a style to the <form> tage but it didn't work
Is there anything i should change here, or is it something different?

..listbox {FONT-SIZE: 11px; FONT-FAMILY: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;
COLOR: #ffffff; background-color:#28A9EC; border-color:#ffffff; width:175}

Don't.

Fine.

Yes. Well, just remove it. It really doesn't matter what your page
actually contains and which elements might belong to class "listbox".

.listbox {FONT-SIZE: 11px; FONT-FAMILY:
Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; COLOR: #ffffff;
background-color:#28A9EC; border-color:#ffffff; width:175}

That would be a nice exercise for a course in CSS: why is that style sheet
completely wrong?
