Challenge with form "please select" display

[Anonymous]

Hi, I am trying to make it so that the following form field has "Please Select" as the default option displayed when a lead loads a form page.

Current Value list: \|||\1000|||1001 - 10,000|||10,001 - 100,000|||100,001 - 1,000,000|||1,000,000+

When I add the "\;\::\Please select...::;" the display shows up as: "\;\" instead of "Please Select"

How do I enter it correctly?

Thanks!

I suggest removing the intial "\:\::\" and start with "Please select . . . ,1,000::1000,1001 - 10,000::1001 - 10,000, etc."
