Drop-Down Box Options Line Spacing

Hi there,

Does anyone know how to increase the vertical space between a standard
drop-down box's options (selections?) I would like to increase the line
spacing to say 1.5, not the default 1. I assume it's done with .cuss, I've
tried margin-height, padding-bottom, top, etc. It would be a big help...

Thank you,
Bob

.cuss? :-D

What are you applying the CSS to, and how?

Support for option styling varies across browsers.

About the only thing you can style in IE and Opera is background-color.

Firefox supports 'font-size', borders and padding.

You're not going to be able to do what you want and have it cross-browser
compatible.
