Question: So here is my code

```
<select id="BVT STUFF" onChange="jumpTo(getSelected(this));">
<option>HardRock Catalog</option>
<option value="http://link">BVT WIKI</option>
<option value="http://link">BVT CALENDAR</option>
<option value="https://link">Sustainment</option>
<option value="link">UVerse Dispatch Servlet</option>

```

This is a tool that I created for my team.

My problem is that I have the list "Title" as the first option and tried to give it a null value but whenever it is selected it tries to open a page. i.e. HardRock Catalog

Is there anything I could do with this to allow the list title to really have no value?

Answer: 
I'll suggest to add *value=""* for the first option. Then in your *jumpTo* function check

```
<option value="">HardRock Catalog</option>

function jumpTo(url) {
   if(url === "") return;
   // other stuff here
}

```
You could add `selected` and `disabled` attributes.

### HTML

```
<option selected="selected" disabled>HardRock Catalog</option>

```
