The system default selects the "Please Select" option and it is disable to select.
Now the option is gray.
Can I bold it and let the color is black?
Thank you.

The href="#page_3" is not working ,Please tell me proper linking in intel xdk..thanx
Try something like this:
<select id="byplanname" name="byplanname" onchange="location = this.options[this.selectedIndex].value;">
<option value="google.com">815</option>
<option value="google.com">816</option>
<option value="google.com">817</option>
<option value="google.com">818</option>
<option value="google.com">820</option>
<option value="google.com">821</option>
<option value="google.com">822</option>
<option value="google.com">823</option>
<option value="google.com">904</option>
</select>
For using #page_3 you will have to put in your URL before that so it would be website.com/#page3 in the value field

I have a situation where I'm using an HTML Datalist and text input for users to select or type in a state, where there are a long list of options. Firefox and Chrome will enable a scrollbar to be able to select options further down the list that aren't initially visible. In Chrome this ability is enabled when you use the autocomplete="off" attribute. IE 10 unfortunately doesn't show a scrollbar in any case that I'm aware of, so the user can't see or select what is initially visible, even if they attempt to key down to the bottom of the list.
Does anyone know of a solution to get IE 10 to show a scrollbar on a very long datalist?

How would I go about setting a title in select tag? Here is my select box:
<select>
<option value="sydney">Sydney</option>
<option value="melbourne">Melbourne</option>
<option value="cromwell">Cromwell</option>
<option value="queenstown">Queenstown</option>
</select>
When I visit the site, by default it shows "Sydney". But I want to display a title, such as, "What is the name of your city?"
<select>
<option selected disabled>Choose one</option>
<option value="sydney">Sydney</option>
<option value="melbourne">Melbourne</option>
<option value="cromwell">Cromwell</option>
<option value="queenstown">Queenstown</option>
</select>
Using selected and disabled will make "Choose one" be the default selected value, but also make it impossible for the user to actually select the item, like so:
<select>
<optgroup label = "Choose One">
<option value ="sydney">Sydney</option>
<option value ="melbourne">Melbourne</option>
<option value ="cromwell">Cromwell</option>
<option value ="queenstown">Queenstown</option>
</optgroup>
</select>
You can combine it with selected and hidden
<select class="dropdown" style="width: 150px; height: 26px">
<option selected hidden>What is your name?</option>
<option value="michel">Michel</option>
<option value="thiago">Thiago</option>
<option value="Jonson">Jonson</option>
</select>
Your dropdown title will be selected and cannot chose by the user.
You can use the following
<select data-hai="whatup">
<option label="Select your city">Select your city</option>
<option value="sydney">Sydney</option>
<option value="melbourne">Melbourne</option>
<option value="cromwell">Cromwell</option>
<option value="queenstown">Queenstown</option>
</select>
I think that this would help:
<select name="select_1">
<optgroup label="First optgroup category">
<option selected="selected" value="0">Select element</option>
<option value="2">Option 1</option>
<option value="3">Option 2</option>
<option value="4">Option 3</option>
</optgroup>
<optgroup label="Second optgroup category">
<option value="5">Option 4</option>
<option value="6">Option 5</option>
<option value="7">Option 6</option>
</optgroup>
</select>
<option value="" selected style="display:none">Please select one item</option>
Using selected and using display: none; for hidden item in list.
You can add an option tag on top of the others with no value and a prompt like this:
<select>
<option value="">Choose One</option>
<option value ="sydney">Sydney</option>
<option value ="melbourne">Melbourne</option>
<option value ="cromwell">Cromwell</option>
<option value ="queenstown">Queenstown</option>
</select>
Or leave it blank instead of saying Choose one if you want.
Typically, I would suggest that you use the <optgroup> option, as that gives some nice styling and indenting to the element.
The HTML element creates a grouping of options within a element. (Source: MDN Web Docs: <optgroup>.
But, since an <optgroup> cannot be a selected value, you can make an <option selected disabled> and then stylize it with CSS so that it behaves like an <optgroup>....
.optionGroup {
font-weight: bold;
font-style: italic;
}
<select>
<option class="optionGroup" selected disabled>Choose one</option>
<option value="sydney" class="optionChild"> Sydney</option>
<option value="melbourne" class="optionChild"> Melbourne</option>
<option value="cromwell" class="optionChild"> Cromwell</option>
<option value="queenstown" class="optionChild"> Queenstown</option>
</select>
With a default option having selected attribute
<select>
<option value="" selected>Choose your city</option>
<option value ="sydney">Sydney</option>
<option value ="melbourne">Melbourne</option>
<option value ="cromwell">Cromwell</option>
<option value ="queenstown">Queenstown</option>
</select>
The first option's text will always display as default title.
<select>
<option value ="">What is the name of your city?</option>
<option value ="sydney">Sydney</option>
<option value ="melbourne">Melbourne</option>
<option value ="cromwell">Cromwell</option>
<option value ="queenstown">Queenstown</option>
</select>
You can create dropdown title | label with selected, hidden and style for old or unsupported device.
<select name="city" >
<option selected hidden style="display:none">What is your city</option>
<option value="1">Sydney</option>
<option value="2">Melbourne</option>
<option value="3">Cromwell</option>
<option value="4">Queenstown</option>
</select>
I added a <div> and it worked fine
<div title="Your title here!">
<select>
<option value="sydney">Sydney</option>
<option value="melbourne">Melbourne</option>
<option value="cromwell">Cromwell</option>
<option value="queenstown">Queenstown</option>
</select>
</div>
<select name="city">
<option value ="0">What is your city</option>
<option value ="1">Sydney</option>
<option value ="2">Melbourne</option>
<option value ="3">Cromwell</option>
<option value ="4">Queenstown</option>
</select>
You can use the unique id for the value instead
I want a dropdown list with say the following options and to show please select when no option is selected. I have implemented it with the code below and the form is submitted when an option is selected as expected.
The problem is when I navigate back to the page, and select the first option i.e --Please Select--, my form gets submitted for that option too. Is there any way to display a --Please Select-- option when no option is selected and prevent the form from being submitted for that particular --Please Select-- option?
<select onchange="this.form.submit()">
<option>--Please Select--</option>
<option value="volvo">Volvo</option>
<option value="saab">Saab</option>
<option value="mercedes">Mercedes</option>
<option value="audi">Audi</option>
</select>
You can use <option selected="selected" disabled="true">
Selected means it will be default, and then disabled stops it being clicked on.
Demo
<select onchange="this.form.submit()">
<option selected="selected" disabled="true">--Please Select --</option>
<option value="volvo">Volvo</option>
<option value="saab">Saab</option>
<option value="mercedes">Mercedes</option>
<option value="audi">Audi</option>
</select>
Make the "Please Select" option disabled. This way the option will be initially selected but it can't be selected again.
<select onchange="this.form.submit()">
<option disabled="true">--Please Select --</option>
<option value="volvo">Volvo</option>
<option value="saab">Saab</option>
<option value="mercedes">Mercedes</option>
<option value="audi">Audi</option>
</select>
Here you go:)
<select onchange="if(this.value!='') this.form.submit();">
<option value="">--Please Select --</option>
<option value="volvo">Volvo</option>
<option value="saab">Saab</option>
<option value="mercedes">Mercedes</option>
<option value="audi">Audi</option>
</select>
you could do it in javascript.
<select onchange="if (this.selectedIndex !=0) { this.form.submit(); }">
<option>--Please Select --</option>
<option value="volvo">Volvo</option>
<option value="saab">Saab</option>
<option value="mercedes">Mercedes</option>
<option value="audi">Audi</option>
</select>
since this is a php you're probably dynamically generating your select options so you might need to change the code a bit.
