WML Selection (Cont.)

SELECT Tag
The <select> tag is used to create a select list. A select list offers a selection of choices from which you may choose one or more items. This tag delimits the beginning and end of the select list. It also serves as a container element for a collection of <option> elements where each <option> element contains one item to be displayed in the list. For example,

   <select>
     <option>text</option>
     <option>text</option>
   </select>

Some of its attributes are

name: Names the variable that is set with the result of the selection.
title: Provides a string or text used to describe or provide additional information about the link.
multiple: Sets whether multiple items can be selected. Default is false.

OPTION Tag
The <option> tag serves as a container for one item that is listed as a choice in a select list. A string or text describing the item appears between the opening and closing <option> tags. For example,

   <option>
     ..text
     ..<img>
     ..<onevent>
   </option>

Some of its attributes are

value: Sets the value to be used when setting the name variable in the <select> element.
onpick: Provides the URL that is to be loaded when the item in the <option> element is selected or unselected.
