Is it possible to bold a portion of item in a list box.

eg.

<option value=“You’ve Earned It, Don’t Lose it”><b>You’ve Earned It, Don’t Lose it - </b><i>Mistakes you can’t afford to make when you retire</i>, BY: Suze Orman</option>

This didnt work so i wanted to make sure that it was even possible.

Thanks

I don't think its possible...but try using CSS maybe, just maybe, it might work... I have not failed; I merely found 100,000 different ways of not succeding...

there is one way to make a option stand out of the rest.
<html>
<head>
<style>
.standout{
color:#FF0000;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<form>
<select class=&quot;Menu&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;>
<option>Item One</option>
<option>Item One</option>
<option class=&quot;standout&quot;>Item One</option>
<option>Item One</option>
</select>
</form>
</body>
</html>

Hope that helps,
Ted

Can you center a specific item in a list box???

I have two seperate list boxex for my data now and one is so much wider than the other one.

Is there anyway to specify the width of list box? Or do i have to make some kind of spacer list item?
