How to give an option tag font-weight: bold in Chrome?

I want to show a select option's text in bold, like the below image. The code is working fine in all browsers except Chrome. How can I solve this problem?

<select style="font-weight:normal">
  <option style="font-weight:bold">Bold text here</option>
  <option style="font-weight:bold">Bold text here</option>
  <option style="font-weight:bold">Bold text here</option>
  <option style="font-weight:bold">Bold text here</option>
</select>

The basic idea is this

<div id="list1" class="dropdown-check-list">
        <span class="anchor">Select Fruits</span>
        <ul class="items">
            <li><b>Apple</b></li>
            <li>Orange</li>
            <li>Grapes </li>
            <li>Berry </li>
            <li>Mango </li>
            <li>Banana </li>
        </ul>
    </div>

css 

.dropdown-check-list {
  display: inline-block;
}
.dropdown-check-list .anchor {
  position: relative;
  cursor: pointer;
  display: inline-block;
  padding: 5px 50px 5px 10px;
  border: 1px solid #ccc;
}
.dropdown-check-list .anchor:after {
  position: absolute;
  content: "";
  border-left: 2px solid black;
  border-top: 2px solid black;
  padding: 5px;
  right: 10px;
  top: 20%;
  -moz-transform: rotate(-135deg);
  -ms-transform: rotate(-135deg);
  -o-transform: rotate(-135deg);
  -webkit-transform: rotate(-135deg);
  transform: rotate(-135deg);
}
.dropdown-check-list .anchor:active:after {
  right: 8px;
  top: 21%;
}
.dropdown-check-list ul.items {
  padding: 2px;
  display: none;
  margin: 0;
  border: 1px solid #ccc;
  border-top: none;
}
.dropdown-check-list ul.items li {
  list-style: none;
}
.dropdown-check-list.visible .anchor {
  color: #0094ff;
}
.dropdown-check-list.visible .items {
  display: block;
}

Script

<script type="text/javascript">

        var checkList = document.getElementById('list1');
        checkList.getElementsByClassName('anchor')[0].onclick = function (evt) {
            if (checkList.classList.contains('visible'))
                checkList.classList.remove('visible');
            else
                checkList.classList.add('visible');
        }

    </script>

This will get you starting. This uses minimal javascript. And you could do much more. Fiddle around and experiment.

Could give us more informations about what you need this ??

For exemple : if you need to make bold the selected option, i used a hack like this, when you select an option, it become bold:

fiddle : http://jsfiddle.net/Gt7Yq/

html :

<select>
    <optgroup id='111' label="111" style="display:none"></optgroup>
    <option value="111">111</option> 
    <optgroup id='222' label="222" style="display:none"></optgroup>
    <option value="222">222</option> 
</select>

js :

$('select').on('change',function(){
    $('optgroup').hide();
    $('select option').show();
    $('select option:selected').hide();
    $('#'+$('select option:selected').val() ).show();
});

but if you want to show a special option, even if it's not selected... I can't help you... (but the answer interrest me)
