What makes you think _that_ is the problem?

You can refer to all <optionelemen ts in a document using the selector
option

I'm pretty sure this wasn't your _real_ question. But since you don't
specify what you are aiming at and what you have tried, I just answered the
question you asked.

If you don't understand the question, or just want to be sarcastic,
please don't waste mine and everyone else's time.

Agree, why would you wish it?

It matters? This is a technical question.

The ID or CLASS can be whatever you wish it to be, the identifier is not
important but the rules that you define!
Yes, I am aware.

As I believe has been stated, do not expect full browser support! This
will not work with IE...
That pretty much answers the question then - when I researched this on
the web, the postings I found were a couple of years old. I didn't
know if someone came up with a way to pull this sort of thing off in
IE or not (as per my previous posting). It works fine in other
browsers I tested (firefox, safari, chrome).

I've seen it done before, but only using javascript to force it in all
browsers. I wanted to try avoid doing that, but it seems that won't
be possible.

Plan A: Take over the world and make using IE a capital offense

Plan B: Become a corporate raider, take over Microsoft and force the
company to fix IE

Plan C: A more practical solution if you must have this "feature" is to
inject &nbsp; into the option text.

<option>Now&nbs p;&nbsp;words&n bsp;&nbsp;have& nbsp;&nbsp;extr a&nbsp;&nbsp;sp ace</option>

Not surprising - Opera has always been a little sketchy where it comes
to styling form controls.
