You changed the lines in global.php to your new function where $quickchooserbits is defined?

everythings is defined properly, but from the code above, I am doing it wrong.

I almost found the culprit. $stylesetlist hold the selected="selected" value. It collect it html values from fetch_template('option').

Where fetch_template('option') is defined? where 'option' is defined? which file it came from?

if I echo fetch_template('option'); it return this php/html code:

<option value=\"$optionvalue\" class=\"$optionclass\" $optionselected>$optiontitle</option>

That is saying, fetch the template named "option". The "option" template is with all your other templates. So, right before evaling that template, just set $optionselected to '' .

ok now I know why it wasn't working,

it was the
$stylesetlist .= construct_style_options($style['styleid'], $depthmark . '--', false, $quickchooser);

in the if line, it wasn't renamed construct_style_options_myf. I totally didn't know a function could be expressed in the function itself.

I renamed it properly and now it working, I got quick style chooser as the first item :)

both IE and FF.

Not entirely the way I wanted, sometime it still show innapropriately because of maybe cookies, or maybe there's HTML limitations.

And browser compatibilities also play: in FF, disabled="disabled" work, the item is unselectable and greyed out, whereas IE it still selectable and plain color.
