Form Tags
SELECT
The Select tag lets
you create a drop down menu. Your visitor can choose one of the options. Use the Multiple
Select tag to create a scrolling menu in which multiple items can be selected.
Example Select:
What would be the best day to return your call?
Here's the html code:
<P>What would be the best day to return your call?<SELECT NAME="Call back
day">
<OPTION>Monday
<OPTION>Tuesday
<OPTION>Wednesday
<OPTION SELECTED>Thursday
<OPTION>Friday
<OPTION>Saturday
<OPTION>Sunday
</SELECT></P>
Parts of the Select Tag
HTML Label (Example: "What would be the best day to return your call?")
Menus are labeled with regular html text so your visitors can understand what information they are expected
to provide. You can put your label before or after the Select tag.
Note: The label is not actually part of the tag itself and is not included in the form data sent to Response-O-Matic.
NAME="anytext"
The NAME is used by the Thank You page and email as a label for the information selected from the menu.
<OPTION>anytext
You can have as many items in the menu as you want, with each item following a new <OPTION>.
<OPTION SELECTED> Optional
The menu item following the <OPTION SELECTED> tag is the default choice. If not used, the first item becomes
the default.
Notes
The Select element is useful when a visitor must make a choice between options. If you want to give your visitor
the opportunity to not respond to that question, you can add "None" or "-------" to the list.
