I am trying to change text color or background color for different options using javascript, please look at code above.

Thanks but I am not sure if its going to work for a select box

Only in IE4+

document.body.style.backgroundColor = COLOR;

Actually thats not possible because I am populating that list dynamically

Hmm.. You -could- try to specify different style attributes to each one.
Like..

I guess select box is a better example, is it possible to use different colors for different options dynamically

EmpID.options.length = 0;
for (var i = 0; i < Emp.getRowCount(); i++) {
NewOpt = new Option;

NewOpt.value = Emp.id[i];
NewOpt.text = Emp.employee_name[i];
if( Emp.id[i] == objects_array[r].object_id)
NewOpt.text.style="color:red;"
else
NewOpt.text.style="color:blue;"
EmpID.options[EmpID.options.length] =NewOpt;
}

I'm not quite sure what you're asking--care to elaborate?
