Synopsis

MULTIPLE

Optional

The presence of the MULTIPLE attribute instructs the browser to render the SELECT element as a list box and to allow users to make multiple selections from the list of options. By default, the SIZE attribute is set to the number of nested OPTION elements, but the value may be overridden with the SIZE attribute setting. Users can select contiguous items by Shift-clicking on the first and last items of the group. To make discontiguous selections, Windows users must Ctrl-click on each item; Mac users must Command-click on each item. The MULTIPLE attribute has no effect when SIZE is set to 1 to display a pop-up menu.

Example

<SELECT NAME="equipment" MULTIPLE>
<OPTION VALUE="monitor">Video monitor
<OPTION VALUE="modem">Modem
<OPTION VALUE="printer">Printer
...
</SELECT>

Value

The presence of this attribute sets its value to true.

Default

false
