I want to have a drop down list using the select, option tag… but when it first appear I want it to have an information, such as “Please select a name” then the user clicks on the drop down list and selects from the available option… I tried to made the “Please select a name” as an option, but then the user will be able to select this… which is not what I want. Do I need to use javascript to have this feature or what do I need to do?
If there’a jquery way to do this, this would be much helpful
Have
<option value="">- Please select a name -</option>as the first option and use JavaScript (and backend validation) to ensure the user has selected something other than an empty value.
