Avoid crawling part of a page with "googleoff" and "googleon"

Tags:

I am trying to tell Google and other search engines not to crawl some parts of my web page.

What I do is:

<!--googleoff: all-->  <select name="ddlCountry" id="ddlCountry"> <option value="All">All</option> <option value="bahrain">Bahrain</option> <option value="china">China</option> </select>  <!--googleon: all--> 

After I uploaded the page, I noticed that search engines are stilling rendering elements within the googleoff markup.

Am I doing something wrong?

"googleon" and "googleoff" are only supported by the Google Search Appliance (when you host your own search results, usually for your own internal website).

They are not supported by Google's web-search at all.
