I'm using the following jquery plugin for selecting multiple options in my select control: jquery multiselect
How can I achieve nested <option> here? I know it's possible because the rendered html uses <li> tags
The case is that I want to have the similar result in my combobox:
[ ] England
[ ] London
[ ] Leeds
[ ] Manchaster
Does anyone have an idea how to achieve this kind of solution. Any help would be apprieciate.
Assuming i understand what you want you can do this using optgroup.
Check out this jsFiddle Demonstration i have created for you.
<select multiple="multiple" size="5">
<optgroup label="England">
<option value="London">London</option>
<option value="Leeds">Leeds</option>
<option value="option3">Manchaster</option>
</optgroup>
<optgroup label="USA">
<option value="option4">New York</option>
<option value="option5">Chicago</option>
</optgroup>
</select>
I have created a jsFiddle Demonstration.

niao: yes, that's what I need. I will have to add some css to make it looks pretty. You can append your answer and I will be more than happy to accept it
You can see the result in this jSFiddle.
I encourage you to download the resources (javascript and css files) to put that on your enviroment.

You can use an optgroup to achieve exactly this effect, when optgroup is clicked (for example "England") in this case, all options under it are selected. See a demo here.
<option>? Option groups? Indented options?englandthen all region under england should be selected. am i getting you right??
