ListBox item padding in Internet Explorer

My CSS says:

option { padding: 6px; }

This works as expected in Firefox - that is, it puts padding around all items in a list box. However IE ignores the style rule. Is it possible to achieve the same result in IE?

I'm using ASP.NET and did consider scrapping the list box and using a ListView but the functionality isn't the same - I need u开发者_如何学Csers to be able to select and double-click on elements and scroll with the arrow keys in an intuitive way.

Thanks in advance.

You can not change very much in select boxes, at best the color and background of the option text http://blogs.msdn.com/b/ie/archive/2006/01/17/514076.aspx
