display: none does not work inside option tag in html

display: none; does not work inside option tag in html. Why?



html



<select>

<option data-color="green"> Option 1
<div style="display: none;"> hiddenText </div>
</option>
<option data-color="red"> Option 1
</option>

</select>


jsfiddle



enter image description here



I am applying the style="display: none;" to the node with textContent being equal to hiddenText. So, I am expecting not to see the hiddenText, but I still see it. What am I missing here?



Thank you.



If we change the div inside option to span it still does not work.

    I don't think it's possible to add a div inside an option tag. MDN quote: Permitted content: Text, possibly with escaped characters (like &eacute;)

  • I thought I can do it with pseudo elements but it doesn't work either. Please explain why do you need to hide text inside an option. Maybe there is a workaround.

I think you can't do this.
<option> tag can't contain any other tags.



Try to use some libraries like Select2
