Mozilla keeps arguing that until it is in the standard they wont implement it. So please put it into the standard. I understand that putting nestable optgroups causes ambiguity in the standard so just define which way the ambiguity goes and be done with it. :) We are getting around this on mozilla only by using XBL (which is unreal) but is very much useless for any of our thousands of users who don't use Mozilla. By having optgroups backwards compatible then we can code for a more aesthetic appearance while still maintaining compatibilty with older browsers. >Note. Implementors are advised that future versions of HTML may exten >d the >grouping mechanism to allow for nested groups (i.e., OPTGROUP element >s may >nest).
