How to create a blank option in fields in web apps

[Guest]

HI.

We have created a pretty simple webapp that lists all our teachers. One of the fields we created was a list of states drop down menu. Is there any way in the list to create a blank field - say there is no state for that person? Right now it shows none.

Here is a example of how it shows up online:

Persons Name

Goiania/GO, None 74810

Brazil

Here is a screenshot of the field I am talking about in the web app. What can I put in there beside none so nothing shows up in that field online if there is no state for that person. 

Thanks in advance.

Hello pilatesdesigner, 

Just playing around with this, trying not to use jQuery, I did find a solution.  For the first option in your drop down, instead of None put:

&nsbp;

This is the HTML non break space. This will show up in the drop down within the web app and is then outputted as a space.

Not really the most elegant of work around's. But it works.

Hope this helps,
