DevGuru WML tag: select


			WML TAG: select
			<select> ... </select> 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. Further, you can group related items (option elements) together into sub-listings using optgroup elements. The browser usually allows you to display one optgroup element at a time. A select element cannot contain nested select elements. It can only contain optgroup and option elements. Nested Tags: optgroup option Attributes class The optional class core attribute is used to assign one or more classes to the element. Multiple classes are separated by white space. The class name is case sensitive (i.e., Stocks and stocks are not the same). id The optional id core attribute is used to assign a unique name to a tag. The name must be unique to the entire deck and not just unique to a card. The first character of the name can be a letter or the underscore. The remaining characters can be any combination of letters, numbers, or underscores. iname The optional iname attribute specifies the name of the variable that will be assigned the value of the index result. The index result is the position in the select list of the selected item. If multiple selections are permitted, the index result is a semicolon delimited list of the indices. The indexing starts at one. A zero signifies that no selection has been made. ivalue The optional ivalue attribute assigns a default value for the iname attribute. If the iname attribute already has a value, this attribute is ignored. multiple The optional multiple attribute is a Boolean value that specifies if the user can select single or multiple item in the select list. False permits selecting only a single item. True permits selecting multiple items. The default is false. name The mandatory name attribute is a string that specifies the name of the variable to which the results of the selection will be assigned. tabindex The optional tabindex attribute is an integer number greater than zero that sets the rank in the tabbing order for the current element. The rank dictates the order in which the elements in a single card will be traversed when tabbing. title The optional title attribute provides a string or text used to describe or provide additional information about the link. value The optional value attribute assigns the default value for the variable named in the mandatory name attribute. If the named variable has an assigned value, this attribute is ignored. If multiple selections are permitted, the values are specified in a semicolon delimited list. xml:lang The optional xml:lang attribute sets the language used in the element, such as English or Greek. For example, in the U.S. the default value is en-US.
