question about select tag

sudhakararaog · #1 Jul 14th, 2008, 08:09

I would like an option in the select tag not to be selected by default but appear as the first option when the file is loaded. i have used the following code

HTML: Select all

<option disabled="disabled" selected="selected">Select Category</option>

however this works in firefox but not in Internet Explorer how can i change the above code to work in both the browsers

please advice.

thanks.

From what you describe, all you need to do is make sure that no options initially have

Code: Select all

selected="selected"

Then just place the 'default' option physically above all the others in your HTML code.
