Actually it works in IE 5.5, if you specify the class attribute for the
OPTION element rather than the SELECT one. It also works in NN6 in this way.

Does Netscape 6 render this correctly?? I was under the impression that 
most of the styles apply to the list / select element and not to any of the 
separate option fields. In IE it seems like either all, or none at all.
But I haven't been able to figure out if this is IE behavior only or not, 
since I don't have Netscape 6 close here.
