Description Andrew Greenwood 2007-03-21 00:28:52 UTC 
Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.5.5)
Installed from:    Gentoo Packages
OS:                Linux

Usually, drop-down lists are written like so:
<select>
    <option>Foo</option>
</select>

This works fine in Konqueror. However, an alternative to the above is:
<select>
    <option value="Foo" />
</select>

Konqueror appears to ignore the value entirely.

There is also a "label" attribute which appears to be ignored as well, but my understanding of this is that it is generally not supported by any browser.

Opera and firefox will ignore second one too.

Confirmed in trunk (r. 799086)

However, this is working as intended. See http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/interact/forms.html#edef-OPTION.

The 'value' or 'label' settings are not meant to be displayed in the select menu.
