css - Partially Bold Text in an HTML select

Question

I'm not sure if this is even possible, but I have a case where I'd like to bold part (not all) of the text within an option of an HTML select tag.

I tried using b tags, as well as strong tags, with no luck (on Chrome). CSS might work, but since it works at the element level, I'm not sure how to go about it that way.

Is there any way to do this?

No; it's not possible.

Instead, you can make a fake dropdown list using Javascript.
