List boxes allow the user to select from a number of options, using either a pull-down menu or a scrolling list box. They are similar to groups of radio buttons or check boxes, but they take up less space for long lists of items.
<SELECT NAME="name" [SIZE="size"] [MULTIPLE]>
<OPTION [SELECTED]>Option 1
<OPTION [SELECTED]>Option 2
...
</SELECT>
where:
| NAME
| assigns a name to the field.
|
| SIZE
| specifies how many lines should be visible at once (default is 1).
|
| MULTIPLE
| allows the user to select more than one option (i.e. check box behavior).
|
| OPTION
| designates a list item; the text beside the tag will be the value sent to the
CGI program.
|
| SELECTED
| specifies that this list item should be selected by default when the form is
displayed.
