For information about scripting the <SELECT> element, see the Scripting the <SELECT> element topic.

The Select element allows the user to chose one of a set of alternatives described by textual labels. Every alternative is represented by the <OPTION> element.

Attributes are:

MULTIPLE
The MULTIPLE attribute is needed when users are allowed to make several selections, e.g.

<SELECT MULTIPLE>

NAME
Specifies the name that will submitted as a name/value pair, or the name by which the element can be refered to in a script function.

SIZE
Specifies the number of visible items. If this is greater than one, then the resulting form control will be a list.

The <SELECT> element is typically rendered as a pull down or pop-up list. For example (from the previous form fragment):

<SELECT NAME="Choice">
<OPTION>Outstanding
<OPTION>Very good
<OPTION>Good
<OPTION>Average
<OPTION>Below Average
<OPTION>Awful
<OPTION SELECTED>My response would be "indecent" under the CDA Act.
</SELECT>
