making selected rows in a <SELECT> form element invisible

[deors]

hi to everyone

i have a form with a select element. this form is submited to a servlet that
uses the selected elements for database processing.

the problem is that while the servlet responses, processes the data and writes
the output the selected lines are visible and i don't want that this happens.

is there any way to change the style of selected lines?

thank you

When you construct/populate the result page<Select Tag-Option> from your Servlet,
just check the Requested value and your data you do not want to include.
if they are the same just omit the construct or insert additional comment
for this <option> tag.

thanks for the answer, but the problem appears when processing a request.
i have a form with the select list. when i submit form only the selected
items are submited, so i have to select the items i want to receive.
this items are visible while the servlet processes the request and writes
the response, and i don't want them to be visible.
i think that maybe exists some css attribute that lets change the colors
of selected items on a select, but i cannot find it in the specs.
