Hi guys,
I just discovered the optgroup element here: http://www.seomoz.org/blog/5-html-elements-you-probably-never-use-but-perhaps-should and I tought it would be great to use it in the template selector.

ie:

<select>
  <optgroup label="Category1">
    <option value ="home">home</option>
    <option value ="blog">blog</option>
    <option value ="contact">contact</option>
  </optgroup>
  <optgroup label="Category2">
    <option value ="home">home</option>
    <option value ="blog">blog</option>
    <option value ="contact">contact</option>
  </optgroup>
</select>

Optgroups are great indeed. Styling support varies by browser, but I’m a fan of them when used properly as well.
