SELECT

Used only in forms, the SELECT element allows the user to chose one of a set of alternatives described by textual labels in a FORM. Every alternative is represented by the OPTION element.

Typical rendering

SELECT is typically rendered as a pull down or pop-up list.

Example

	<OPTION>Vanilla
	<OPTION>Strawberry
	<OPTION>Rum and Raisin
	<OPTION>Peach and Orange
	</SELECT>
