Well, the problem is that :input is designed to match individual form elements - especially things that might be submitted to the server. Individual option elements aren't submitted to a server - nor are they individually useful (their values only really mean anything within the context of a select). For the same reason I don't think we should include <optgroup>.
At least on your end the fix is pretty easy: Change ":input" to ":input, option". I'm definitely open to more discussion on this point, just not convinced yet (and am definitely afraid that it might cause other code to break). --John On Tue, Jan 6, 2009 at 10:14 AM, Paul Bakaus <paul.bak...@googlemail.com> wrote: > Hey guys, > > I figured recently that the :input selector matches select boxes but no > options.
