css - How can I add padding to html dropdownlist?

Question

I want to add padding to the options of html "select" tag.

I try to add it in the style property of "select" and "option" and it doesn't work in IE.

What can I do?

OK, I hate to sound all 1990s, but would simply pre- and app-ending a space to the option text be acceptable for your desired goals?
