Need Help Remember A Simple Code...

Need a help to remember a simple code from one of this tutorial "HTML", I found it very use full but seems my memory is not enough to remember :)

I created a "select" for drop down menu and there is 5 text in it. 1st. one is non-clickable (showing in gray color "Title") and the other 4 text is clickable (hyper link "whatever..."). What is that a simple code for the 1st. text on select drop down menu? this 1st text is for only like a title for 4 text (A title for events...)

Thanks and God Bless...

The first item in the dropdown box that is greyed out is an "option group" or <optgroup> to describe the following items. it would be coded as:

<select>
     <optgroup label="Colors">  <!-- This is the greyed out option group that describes the options -->
          <option>Red</option>  <!-- These are the clickable options -->
          <option>Blue</option>  <!-- These are the clickable options -->
          <option>Green</option>  <!-- These are the clickable options -->
     </optgroup>
</select>
