Particularly the 12th select box is styled with text-align and the
screenshots show the results in various browsers.
Fails in: Safari(v?), IE6/win & IE/mac.

Would the boss accept a mono-spaced font? If so, you could try the ugly,
UGLY hack of giving the select font-family:monospace and using
entities to pad your options on the left so they line up (if you're lucky).
But don't do this :)

[css-d] Newbie: Trying to center items in a dropdownlist on web form
I am designing a web app and would like to have list items in a dropdownlist
centered. I have been able to get all the textboxes and labels to center
align using an external css.
For the textboxes, I used:
input {text-align: center;}
For the labels, I used:
span {text-align:center;}
For the dropdownlist, I attempted to use
select { text-align: center; } - this did not work.
I also attempted to use a class and this did not work. Does anyone know any
tricks that would work to get the items in the ddl to center align? This is
the way the boss wants it.
Thanks
Lisa
