Is it possible to center text in select box?

Answer 1

if the options are static, you could listen for the change event on your select box and add padding for each individual item

$('#id').change(function() {
    var select = $('#id');
    var val = $(this).val();

    switch(val) {
        case 'ValOne':
            select.css('padding-left', '30px');
            break;
        case 'ValTwoLonger':
            select.css('padding-left', '20px');
             break;
        default:
            return;
    }
});
