<SELECT ...>

Usage Recommendation
use it

NAME: name of this form element MULTIPLE: allow more than one choice SIZE: how many options to show READONLY: don't let the user change the value of this field DISABLED: don't let the user do anything with this field

LANGUAGE: scripting language to use onChange: what to do when a new option is selected TABINDEX: tab order onFocus: script to run when this field gets the focus onBlur: script to run when this field loses the focus

<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>	small medium large

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.
