OPTION - option in a select list

Description

The OPTION tag specifies an option in a selection list. Use the OPTION tag inside a SELECTION tag. When the form containing the selection list is submitted to the server, a name/value pair is sent for each selected option in the list. The value portion of an option is the value of the VALUE attribute, if it has one, otherwise, it is the text that follows the <OPTION> tag.
This tag would be used within the <FORM> tags.

Syntax

<OPTION VALUE="optionValue" SELECTED>

Attributes

VALUE = specifies a value that is returned to the server when the option is selected and the form is submitted. When no VALUE = attribute is present, the value returned is the same as the text following the <OPTION> tag.
SELECTED = specifies that the option is selected by default.
