I'm trying to make a selectable option's tree like this:

<select>
  <optgroup label="Category 1">
    <option>Sub Category 1</option>
    <option>Sub Category 2</option>
  </optgroup> 
  <optgroup label="Category 2">
    <option>Sub Category 3</option>
    <option>Sub Category 4</option>
  </optgroup>
  <optgroup label="Group 3" disabled>
  </optgroup>
</select>

but, as you can see, i'm not able to select the main categories because they're just simple labels.

I've been looking for a different solution but unfortunally i didn't find nothing yet.

I want to be able to select the main category also. – Carlo Beccarini Oct 25 '15 at 13:00
up to my information & search I think you cannot do that .. but you can get optgroup data after user selected option like this http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5475003/jquery-select-optgroup-in-select – Mohamed-Yousef Oct 25 '15 at 13:07
how am i supposed to do something like this? how do other people make it? i can't believe it is impossible. – Carlo Beccarini Oct 25 '15 at 13:10

add an option for each category ... doesn't seem complicated. Or use one of the multitude of select replacement plugins – charlietfl Oct 25 '15 at 13:32
Can you provide an example? – Carlo Beccarini Oct 25 '15 at 14:17
