<SELECT ...> creates a list of options, one or more of which can be selected. In its simplest use, it consists of
<SELECT ...>,
two or more
<OPTION ...> tags, and
</SELECT>.
| this code |
produces this |
<SELECT NAME="pizzasize">
<OPTION VALUE="s">small
<OPTION VALUE="m">medium
<OPTION VALUE="l">large
</SELECT>
|
|
Note that the text which appears is directly after each
<OPTION ...> tag, not inside the tag. The value that is sent to the
CGI, however, is given by <OPTION VALUE="...">.
By default only one option can be selected. To have a list which allows more than one option, use the
MULTIPLE
attribute. See
MULTIPLE
for more details about this type of list.
