Centering a drop-down menu?

Well....I'm putting drop down menus on my website and my Myspace, and I searched for a snippet that made the drop down words center. Couldn't find anything. Does anyone know how to make this code center through out the entire menu?

<select style="font-size:12px;color:&#035;FF0000;font-family:Comic Sans;background-color:&#035;000000;font-weight:bold;" name="menu">
<option value>M*A*S*H*</option>
<option value>Viva La Bam</option>
<option value>Futurama</option>
<option value>Family Guy</option>
<option value>Simpsons</option>
</select></p>

Code (markup):

 

Do you mean the select element itself or the options?

 

I want to center the options

 

Well if you are trying to center it on the page or section than just put this <center> at the beginning of your code and it should center it!!

 

Which is a bad idea. Hold on, let me see if I can work some CSS magic.

 

A> not what he's asking
B> <CENTER>?!? How 1997 of you.

On topic - It's in the specs that styling should not be able to be applied to the <option> tag - Opera and Safari obey this, but I believe firefox will actually work if you put

option {
text-align:center;
}

Not 100% sure on that though - I know it works with colors (which it is NOT supposed to)

 

Not only that but IE won't let you style either select or option (just tried it myself).
