How to make the text bold using jquery

You can't bold an individual <option> in a <select> control. It's annoying, but that's how it is.

Using the jQuery, you can apply the css:

font-weight:Bold;

So just do:

$myElement.css("font-weight","Bold");

For me on FF6 at least, it will show as a normal font in the select box, however in the actual list itself it will show bold if you do:

$('select option[value="18277"]').css({ 'font-weight': 'bold' });
