Description
Defines a list box or drop down list usually used within a form. The select box is given a name and its value will be that of the selected <OPTION> tag within the list. Add the MULTIPLE attribute to allow multiple lines to be selected by holding down the shift key. The SIZE attribute allows the number of rows on display to be increased and does not control the width of the element, which normally grows to hold the widest value in the <OPTION> list. The width can be controlled by use of an inline style attribute.
