You could try <option style='color:red; font-weight:bold;'>PHP</option>

Not all option styles work, but this is supposed to.

[Most option styles] will work for Mozilla.
<option style="display:none"></option> will render correctly. As will re-displaying it.

However, in IE, from the MSDN site:

Quote:
Except for background-color and color, style settings applied through the style object for the option element are ignored. In addition, style settings applied directly to individual options override those applied to the containing SELECT element as a whole.

I think IE's support for styling the contents of <select> boxes is pretty crappy (like a lot of its CSS support). I guess if you want it in IE you'll have to buy Longhorn. There are cheaper alternatives....
