List Boxes

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.
