Text-align: central placeholder text in select

Question

I have a dropdown with placeholder text. In other browsers, I managed to center this placeholder text, but in Chrome, text-align: center

Here is the HTML for Select:

.bookingform::-webkit-input-placeholder {
  /* WebKit, Blink, Edge */
  color: #FFF;
  font-size: 18px;
  font-family: "Raleway";
  text-align: center;
}
.bookingform:-moz-placeholder {
  /* Mozilla Firefox 4 to 18 */
  color: #FFF;
  opacity: 1;
  font-size: 18px;
  font-family: "Raleway";
  text-align: center;
}
.bookingform::-moz-placeholder {
  /* Mozilla Firefox 19+ */
  color: #FFF;
  font-size: 18px;
  font-family: "Raleway";
  opacity: 1;
  text-align: center;
}
.bookingform:-ms-input-placeholder {
  /* Internet Explorer 10-11 */
  color: #FFF;
  font-size: 18px;
  font-family: "Raleway";
  text-align: center;
}
.bookingform:placeholder-shown {
  /* Standard (https://drafts.csswg.org/selectors-4/#placeholder) */
  color: #FFF;
  font-size: 18px;
  font-family: "Raleway";
  text-align: center;
}

<select name="number-of-adults" class="wpcf7-form-control wpcf7-select" aria-invalid="false">
  <option value="ADULTS*">ADULTS*</option>
  <option value="1">1</option>
  <option value="2">2</option>
  <option value="3">3</option>
  <option value="4">4</option>
  <option value="5">5</option>
  <option value="6">6</option>
  <option value="7">7</option>
  <option value="8">8</option>
</select>

Run codeHide result

So is there something I'm missing? In all my other text entries, their placeholders are centered, and the pop-ups are centered in other browsers such as Firefox.

Answer 1

Is this what you are trying to do?

select {
  text-align: center;
  text-align-last: center;
  /* webkit*/
}
option {
  text-align: left;
  /* reset to left*/
}

<select name="number-of-adults" class="wpcf7-form-control wpcf7-select" aria-invalid="false">
  <option value="ADULTS*">ADULTS*</option>
  <option value="1">1</option>
  <option value="2">2</option>
  <option value="3">3</option>
  <option value="4">4</option>
  <option value="5">5</option>
  <option value="6">6</option>
  <option value="7">7</option>
  <option value="8">8</option>
</select>
<select name="number-of-adults" class="wpcf7-form-control wpcf7-select" aria-invalid="false">
  <option value="ADULTS*">ADULTS*</option>
  <option value="1" selected="true">1</option>
  <option value="2">2</option>
  <option value="3">3</option>
  <option value="4">4</option>
  <option value="5">5</option>
  <option value="6">6</option>
  <option value="7">7</option>
  <option value="8">8</option>
</select>

Run codeHide result

This is partially supported by browsers (problems, at least in Edge and Safari)
