Is it possible to style the option elements of a select list/dropdown beyond background and font? I’m specifically looking to add some padding/margins so the list isn’t as cramped.
Not possible if you want broad browser support. At least IE doesn’t support it. There’s then no other option than to mimic and progressively enhance the dropdown with
<ul><li>and a good shot of JavaScript. You can get here some ideas what’s possible with JS (jQuery actually) based dropdowns.
