question about select tag

[runway27]

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

<option disabled="disab led" selected="selec ted">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.

Unfortunately, IE currently doesn't allow you to disable individual options. It wasn't fixed in IE7. I don't know if it'll be fixed in IE8. The only solution is to use JavaScript to emulate it.
