Is it possible to format text inside the html list box?

[Argo]

I want to make certain entries bold. Others need to be slightly idented. Looks like list control ignores all text formatting, as well as white space. Is there a work-around?

How though? Wouldn't the entire list control pick up css settings? Or can I specify css class within the <option> tag???

oh... yeah, hmm... different CSS for different options. I dunno, see if you can apply it to an "option" tag. I never tried that before, though. I was thinknig of applying it to the entire list box.

No go. It ignores it.

No. All text in the list box uses the same display characteristics. Your best bet is to distinguish with CAPS, prefixing with some other character, or by breaking sections up with a string of hyphens.

It depends on the browser. Some browsers let you format various input widgets more than others.

Yeah? Any way I can get this done in IE? If anybody can point me in the right direction I'd appreciate that. I wouldn't mind doing some research if I had to. I tried google but got back complete garbage.
