how is putting line-height: 40px; for option in select box?

<select class="select_box">
    <option value="" disabled="disabled" style="display: none;">Categories</option>
    <option>10</option>
    <option>25</option>
    <option>50</option>
    <option>100</option>
    <option>all</option>
</select>

It is not possible to alter a select list in this way. You can add padding but it is not reliable in various browsers. To alter the look and feel of a select list reliably you will need to use javascript.

Here is one method : http://www.filamentgroup.com/lab/jquery_ui_selectmenu_an_aria_accessible_plugin_for_styling_a_html_select/

  • You can not add a font size to options in a select. The styling of the select options is handled by the browser – jmona789 Jan 22 '20 at 21:20

Try this :

.select_box{font-size:12px;padding:14px;}

Demo : http://jsfiddle.net/dk9p2/

Or you can change the font-size:

.select_box{font-size:30px;}

More options here.

Note It all depends on the browser. The previous doesn't work in < ie8

UPDATE : Little more can be achieved through css alone : http://jsfiddle.net/dk9p2/1/
