Saving space in html select tag

Question

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

id - name - description

I would like the fields to align. In PHP, I use

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

which works great. The problem is that multiple spaces are condensed to 1 space in the selection list. I tried to use the CSS pre and white-space CSS properties in the select box, but this has no effect. Any suggestions?

you should use  instead, they are inextricable spaces, so they will not break.

You can do:

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