 * Is it possible to bold all of the categories listed in a dropdown? I’ve tried:
 *     ```
       <span style="font-weight:bold;">
   
       <?php wp_dropdown_categories('show_option_none=Title&title_li=&hide_empty=0&exclude=1&orderby=name'); ?>
   
       <script type="text/javascript"><!--
           var dropdown = document.getElementById("cat");
           function onCatChange() {
       		if ( dropdown.options[dropdown.selectedIndex].value > 0 ) {
       			location.href = "<?php echo get_option('home');
       ?>/?cat="+dropdown.options[dropdown.selectedIndex].value;
       		}
           }
           dropdown.onchange = onCatChange;
       --></script>
       </span>
       ```
   
 * and
 *     ```
       <?php wp_dropdown_categories('show_option_none=<span style="font-weight:bold;">Title</span>&title_li=&hide_empty=0&exclude=1&orderby=name'); ?>
   
       <script type="text/javascript"><!--
           var dropdown = document.getElementById("cat");
           function onCatChange() {
       		if ( dropdown.options[dropdown.selectedIndex].value > 0 ) {
       			location.href = "<?php echo get_option('home');
       ?>/?cat="+dropdown.options[dropdown.selectedIndex].value;
       		}
           }
           dropdown.onchange = onCatChange;
       --></script>
       ```
