Highlight an item in jQuery UI Multiselect Next

Question

I have jQuery UI Multiselect Next http://quasipartikel.at/multiselect_next I want to highlight an item using a colour.

For example, I have:

<select id="countries" class="multiselect" multiple="multiple" name="countries[]">
    <option value="Afghanistan" selected="selected">Afganistan</option>
    <option value="Albania" selected="selected">Albania</option>
    <option value="Austria" selected="selected">Austria</option>
    <option value="Germany" selected="selected">Germany</option>
</select>

Is possible highlight Germany in red?

Answer 1

I am using this to highlight the 4th row:

.ui-multiselect ul.selected >  li:nth-child(3)
{
    background:none;
    background-color:green;
}

If you want to do it for multiple replace li with li:nth-child(2n+1) for all odd etc…

Hope this helps.
