DropDownList plain HTML

Hi Guys,

What is the code for putting a separator in a select/option box (dropdownlist). I've come accross it once, but forgot to save it. It's something more intellegent than putting <option>----------</option> in the select.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

thanks

Hi,

Not quite what i was looking for.  I need to apply an <optgroup> to a dropdownlist in asp.net. Sorry I did put this in the wrong group ;-)

Thanks

Alternative is


<SELECT NAME=browser onChange="if (this.options[this.selectedIndex].value=="---") this.options[this.selectedIndex-1].selected=true">
    <OPTION>1</OPTION>
    <OPTION>2</OPTION>
    <OPTION value="---" disabled="disabled">&mdash;&mdash;&mdash;&mdash;&mdash;</OPTION>
    <OPTION>A</OPTION>
    <OPTION>B</OPTION>
</SELECT>
 
or 
<SELECT NAME=browser onChange="if (this.options[this.selectedIndex].value=="---") this.selectedIndex--;">
