HTML Select - option with text readed from resx file

Question

i'm working on a project where i'm using culture. Usually i use this syntax to read text from resx files for my html object:

<input autocomplete="off" type="text" value="" initialvalue="" runat="server"
meta:resourcekey="fCliente" id="myId" class="initial-value" />

And this is my resx elements:

myId.initialvalue   ValueToBeSetted 
myId.value  ValueToBeSetted

This syntax works perfectly.

But i'm not able to do samething for a select element. In my scenario i've a select element where the user can choose his gender, so it could be like this:

<select autocomplete="off" class="initial-value" runat="server" id="fSesso">
<option value="M">Male</option>
<option value="F">Female</option>
<option value="N">Not selected</option>
</select>

But text like "Male" or "Female" should be readed from my .resx file. Any idea?

This is a blind guess:

<select autocomplete="off" class="initial-value" runat="server" id="fSesso">
<option value="M" meta:resourcekey="Male">Male</option>
<option value="F" meta:resourcekey="Female">Female</option>
<option value="N" meta:resourcekey="Not">Not selected</option>
</select>

resx:

Male.Text = Male

Unfortunally your soulution doesn't work for select element, but it's works perfectly with an asp DropDownList, so i've replaced it with a DropDown. – MassiCiaoCiao Mar 21 '14 at 08:21
That is funny or not so funny... But glad you found a workaround. – Remy Mar 24 '14 at 14:32
doesn't work. If you type – Dainius Kreivys Oct 22 '15 at 14:31
Yeah, as MassiCiaoCiao pointed out, it only works with the ASP.NET Dropdown. The HTML Element itself does not have the text property. – Remy Oct 22 '15 at 15:07
