title: Styling options in bold
body: <p>I am getting a styling problem with options. I need some options to appear in bold style, but Internet Explorer doesn't want to render it.</p>
  <p>I'm setting it using CSS using <code>font-weight: bold;</code>, which is not working.</p>
  <p>An example can be seen in this page: <a href="http://www.456bereastreet.com/lab/styling-form-controls-revisited/select-multiple-option/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Example</a>, which shows bold fonts in Firefox but not in Internet Explorer.</p>
  <p>I have tried in Internet Explorer 7 and 8.</p>
  <p>Has anyone has an alternative?</p>
  <p>A sample:</p>
  <p>HTML:</p>
  <pre><code>&lt;select&gt;
      &lt;option class=&quot;special&quot;&gt;Special&lt;/option&gt;
  &lt;/select&gt;
  </code></pre>
  <p>CSS:</p>
  <pre><code>.special {
      font-weight: bold;
  }
  </code></pre>
