Is it possible to center text in select box?

Answer 1

I'm afraid this isn't possible with plain CSS, and won't be possible to make completely cross-browser compatible.

However, using a jQuery plugin, you could style the dropdown:

This plugin hides the select element, and creates span elements etc on the fly to display a custom drop down list style. I'm quite confident you'd be able to change the styles on the spans etc to center align the items.
