Select Element
The <select>
element is used to create a dropdown list of options for the user to choose from. It is typically used in forms where the user needs to choose from a predefined set of options.
It is always used in conjunction with <option>
elements. The <option>
elements define the individual items in the dropdown list.

The <select>
element also has several attributes that can be used to modify its behavior, including:
name
- The name of the select element, used when submitting the form;size
- The number of visible options in the dropdown list;multiple
- If present, allows the user to select multiple options;disabled
- If present, disables the select element.
To divide a list into separate, unrelated groups, we can use the <optgroup>
tag. The label
attribute is used to assign a title to the group.
