<P>
The OPTION tag is used inside a <A HREF="../form/select.html">SELECT</A> selection list to indicate
an option. You may not use markup in an option. All options listed will
be displayed in a list or drop-down box, and the user can select one or
more from the list. The VALUE of each option should be unique.
<P>
If you specify the SELECTED attribute, this option will appear selected
when the form comes up initially.

  <H2>Notes:</H2>
<UL>

<LI>Pre-selecting more than one item should only be done if the <A HREF="../form/select.html">SELECT</A>
tag has the MULTIPLE attribute defined.
