Adding Final Touches to Web Page
The <SELECT>:
Like the input element, the
SELECT element is used for querying the user. This element is
for creating drop-down or scale able lists of menus. SELECT has
a partner element, OPTION, to delimit the choices that the
user has for selection. The basic structure of a SELECT
element is as follows:
Please select that which interests you:
<SELECT NAME="Interesting">
<OPTION> 3D Graphic
<OPTION> Animation
<OPTION> Internet
<OPTION>Intranet
</SELECT>
The SELECT element offers the user
only one response out of the possible choices and this
selection is displayed. To permit the user to select more than
one response, you need to add the attribute "Multiple":
Please select those which interest
you:
<SELECT NAME="Interesting" SIZE=2 Multiple>
<OPTION>3D Graphic
<OPTION>Animation
<OPTION>Internet
</SELECT>
With this, the user can select more than one option. Functionally,
this SELECT Multiple element is equivalent to the INPUT
element of TYPE="Checkbox", where any number of selections can
be made.
