Peter Brunone (EasyListBox.com) asked:
>>Ron, wouldn't those be OPTGROUP tags?
Hi Peter,
I absolutely agree that OPTGROUP is a much more elegant
Route. Especially because it blocks selection of the
'invalid' values.
E.g. http://www.w3schools.com/tags/tag_optgroup.asp
But I have seen sites that approximated that functionality
by using values offset by special characters like '*' or
set in different colors.
I'm not advocating it - just noting that it exists in 'the wild.'
>>Also, your example looks strangely reminiscent of
http://easylistbox.com/demoDataGrid.aspx :-D
Heh! Cute! Obviously a fine resource! ;-)
