Initial Text in Jump Menu

[jimchicago]

Hi . . . just created a new page for a new site I'm building. The page includes a jump menu (that is, a Go menu without the Go button) in which the initial text says, "Executive Team." When the dropdown triangle is clicked, I don't want "Executive Team" to be one of the options that drops down--I just want the executives' names to appear. How can I do that? Thanks

It will show up when the menu is selected, but it's not an option, it's just the header for the form. You can probably work around it with some clever graphics work.

Right, it's not a major problem, and I don't mind that the initial text remains when the dropdown triangle is clicked, but I just wish "Executive Team" wouldn't drop down above the first exec name in the list. I don't know of any workarounds to make it go away.

A simple walk around would be to make the initial text field blank, and then place the text "Executive Team" OVER the initial form shape (i.e. when it is closed). However, this creates another problem: to expand the form (in order to select the actual executive) will only work by clicking on the arrow.
