@shinuq

thanks ...

can I load some values for this name also?

because i need to get this value on the next page?

i.e

Shinesh Premrajan

AFAIK, the optgroup values are not readable, only the option values can be retrieved.

Loganathan Natarajan

ASKER

No, I want to read the values also for the main option.

as I am combining both options as ROOT and SUB...

Is there any way to do?

Actually my need is different. As I said, I need to get exactly the selection of the option,

if it is ROOT selection, I have to search under the SUB's
If it is SUB (individual) , i have to search in it.
