<P>
The SELECT tag is used inside forms to generate a list of items from
which the user can select one or more. Each item is listed in an
<A HREF="../form/option.html">OPTION</A> tag. The value of the selected <A HREF="../form/option.html">OPTION</A> tag is assigned
to the NAME of the SELECT tag, and both are sent to the server when the
form is submitted.
<P>
The SIZE attribute indicates how many items are visible at once. If
set to one, you will get a drop-down list. If it's more than one, you
will get a scrollable list. If the MULTIPLE attribute is selected, the
user can select more than one item from the list.
<H2>Notes:</H2>
<UL>
<LI>Exactly how a user can select more than one item at once is
dependant on his platform, so do not include "instructions" on how to
do this. They may be wrong and can cause a lot of confusion.
<LI>If you use MULTIPLE, set the SIZE to more than one. This makes it
easier to select more than one item.
