Hi,

I have a list of strings that I would like to display in a HTML select object. The strings look something like :

id - name - description

I would like the fields to align however. In PHP I'm using

sprintf ("%4s%10s%20s", $id, $name, $description);

which works fine. The problem is the multiple spaces is compacted to 1 space in the select list. I tried using the pre and white-space CSS properties of the select box, but it has no effect. Any suggestions?
