asp.net webcontrols: I would like to add spaces to a ListBox' items. When the
list arrives at the client, all spaces are removed. If I
put   in the text, it displays as  . However,
in a plain HTML <select> control, &nbsp; can be used in
each <option> to provide extra spaces.

I tried the HtmlSelect control but it works the same and
uses ListItems just like the ListBox does.

Is there a way to do this with a ListBox?

The initial post used the HTML tags. This should remedy
that, I hope.
