Form Tags
MULTIPLE SELECT
 The Multiple Select
tag lets you create a scrolling list of items to choose from. You can allow more than one item to be selected from
the list. This control is useful if you have a list of many items. With Multiple Select, you can have no options
selected as the default, allowing your visitors to skip over the question.
Example Multiple Select:
What colors do you want for your bathroom?
Here's the html code:
<P>What colors do you want for your bathroom?<SELECT NAME="Bathroom colors"
SIZE=5 MULTIPLE>
<OPTION>White
<OPTION>Red
<OPTION>Green
<OPTION>Black
<OPTION SELECTED>Bronze
<OPTION>Copper
<OPTION>Coral
<OPTION SELECTED> Olive Green
<OPTION>Cyan
<OPTION>Yellow
</SELECT></P>
Parts of the Multiple Select Tag
HTML Label (Example: "What colors do you want for your bathroom?")
Multiple Select controls 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 tag.
Note: The label is not actually part of the Multiple Select 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 received by the Multiple Select
control.
SIZE=anynumber
The SIZE value shows how many items will appear at once in the scrolling menu.
<OPTION>anytext Required
You can have as many items in the menu as you want, with each item following a new <OPTION> tag.
MULTIPLE Optional
Adding this tag will allow your visitors to choose more than one item from the list. To permit just one selection,
don't use MULTIPLE.
Note: How multiple selections are made by your visitor depends on the browser being used, and the type
of computer. With a PC, using the right mouse button will probably select additional items. On a Mac, clicking
with the Shift or Option keys will do it.
<OPTION SELECTED> Optional
The menu item following the <OPTION SELECTED> tag is the default choice. You can have more than one <OPTION
SELECTED>.
Notes
The Multiple Select element uses the same syntax as Select. The only difference
is the addition of the SIZE command. Take out to change the control to a drop down menu.
