I hope I've understood this correctly.
Perhaps try something along the lines of this in the function (not
tested)...
var myOptGrpLabel =
$(this).find("[EMAIL PROTECTED]").parents("OPTGROUP").attr("label");
/* ... do something with myOptGrpLabel... */
The parents("OPTGROUP") could be overkill, maybe just .parent() is enough if
you're sure the option elements are in an optgroup.
