SELECT
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
- MULTIPLE
- The MULTIPLE attribute is
needed when users are allowed to
make several selections, e.g. <SELECT
MULTIPLE> .
Proposed attributes
- ERROR
- The ERROR attribute can be
used to indicate that the initial
selection is in error in some way,
e.g. because it is inconsistent with
the values of other fields.
Typical rendering
SELECT is typically rendered as a
pull down or pop-up list.
Example
e.g.
<SELECT NAME="flavor">
<OPTION>Vanilla
<OPTION>Strawberry
<OPTION>Rum and Raisin
<OPTION>Peach and Orange
</SELECT>
out in some manner.
