Adding a group of options to a list of options using JQuery
I have the following HTML code (do not mark the end tags with <\option>
) generated by Lotus Domino.
<select name="Fault" class="textbox">
<option>Single Light Out
<option>Light Dim
<option>Light On In Daytime
<option>Erratic Operating Times
<option>Flashing/Flickering
<option>Causing Tv/Radio Interference
<option>Obscured By Hedge/Tree Branches
<option>Bracket Arm Needs Realigning
<option>Shade/Cover Missing
<option>Column In Poor Condition
<option>Several Lights Out (please state how many)
<option>Column Leaning
<option>Door Missing/Wires Exposed
<option>Column Knocked Down/Traffic Accident
<option>Lantern Or Bracket Broken Off/Hanging On Wires
<option>Shade/Cover Hanging Open
<option>Other
</select>
Using JQuery I want to convert this HTML after the document is loaded: Adding optgroup after the 11th option and also adding a closing tag </option>
<select name="Fault" class="textbox">

<option>Lantern Or Bracket Broken Off/Hanging On Wires</option>
<option>Shade/Cover Hanging Open</option>
<option>Other</option>
</optgroup>

With :nth-child(n+7)
you select all children over index 7.
$('option:nth-child(n+7)').wrapAll('<optgroup label="Urgent Reasons">');
See JsFiddle
Without closing the <option>
invalid HTML, so I'm not sure how this works with jQuery, since it actually does correct DOM manipulation. I suggest you fix these tags not closing before HTML processing.
