Thanks George
I think the '@selected' is looking for the option that was set when the form
was initially rendered (although, obviously, I'm not that well aquainted
with JQuery yet). I'm after the optgroup label for the option selected after
the user has picked a new value: As an example:
OptGroup 1
- Option1.1
- Option1.2
OptGroup2
- Option2.1
- Option2.2
If Option1.1 is selected when the form is rendered, then I'd like to get
'(OptGroup1)' displayed to the right of the select list. If the user then
changes the selection to Option2.2, I'd like to display ('(OptGroup2)' to
the right of the select list.
