       <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.
