title: How to change background-color of selected option in IE11?
body: <p>The below code gives background color of selected option as green (#7FFF00) in IE8 and IE9 but as black in IE11. So, how can i get the same background color in IE11 also. Is it possible to do so using CSS ?</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;!DOCTYPE html&gt;
  &lt;html&gt;
  &lt;head&gt;
  &lt;style&gt;
  .car-select option[selected] {
      background-color: #7FFF00;
  }
  &lt;/style&gt;
  &lt;/head&gt;
  &lt;body&gt;
  
  &lt;form action="form_action.asp"&gt;
  &lt;select name="cars" class="car-select" multiple disabled&gt;
    &lt;option value="volvo"&gt;Volvo&lt;/option&gt;
    &lt;option selected value="saab"&gt;Saab&lt;/option&gt;
    &lt;option value="opel"&gt;Opel&lt;/option&gt;
    &lt;option value="audi"&gt;Audi&lt;/option&gt;
  &lt;/select&gt;
  &lt;input type="submit"&gt;
  &lt;/form&gt;
  
  &lt;/body&gt;
  &lt;/html&gt;
  </code></pre>
