<SELECT> </SELECT>

The SELECT command is used inside of Forms to make a list of items that visitors to your site can sellect from. Each item is listed with an OPTION tag, the value of the selected OPTION tag is assigned to the NAME of the SELECT tag, and both are sent to the server when the form is submitted.

The SIZE attribute tells how many items will be visible at one time. If it is set to one, then there will be a drop-down list. If it is more than one, you get a scrolling list. If the MULTIPLE attribute is used, then the visitor can select several items from the list.
