APEX

I would like a select list that would have the values 1,10, and 100 right justified. In order to align them i tried applied spacing so that they would show up as:
    1
  10
100


My select list is
STATIC2:  1;1, 10;10,100;100

However its removing all the leading spaces i padded in there to help align it. I also tried replacing the spaces with & n b s p; but that just makes it show up as & n b s p;1 (with the spaces removed in between nbsp).

Note: I did do dir = rtl but I didn't like it because the down arrow gets shifted to the left of the select list and i'd like to maintain a uniformed look so i'm trying to duplicate the right justification and maintain the down arrow on the right of the field. (unless there is an easy way to make the down arrow appear on the right, that would be cool)
