html select option separator

The disabled option approach seems to look the best and be the best supported. I've also included an example of using the optgroup.

optgroup (this way kinda sucks):

<select>
    <optgroup>
        <option>First</option>
    </optgroup>
    <optgroup label="_________">
        <option>Second</option>
        <option>Third</option>
    </optgroup>
</select>

disabled option (a bit better):

<select>
    <option>First</option>
    <option disabled>_________</option>
    <option>Second</option>
    <option>Third</option>
</select>

And if you want to be really fancy, use the horizontal unicode box drawing character.
(BEST OPTION!)

<select>
    <option>First</option>
    <option disabled>──────────</option>
    <option>Second</option>
    <option>Third</option>
</select>

Try:

<optgroup label="----------"></optgroup>
