The select tag, like the checkbox and radio button input tags allows your readers to choose from
multiple options. However, because the options are all stored in a drop-down box, they do not take up
as much screen real estate as the radio buttons and checkboxes.
The select tag has several attributes, and the closing </select> tag is required.
name (required) - names the input information
size - how many items in the list are showing on the screen at once
multiple - the reader can choose multiple items
The tricky part of the <select> tag is that it needs a second tag to include the elements
in the list, the <option> tag.
The option tag has two primary attributes:
value - if this is not included, the form will send the server whatever follows the option
tag (up to the next option tag, or </select> tag) as the value
selected - if this is not included, the form will display the first element listed as
the default selected choice
Here are three types of select lists:
Basic Select List
<select name="1" size="1">
<option>one
<option>two
<option>three
</select>
