TIPS

Can I allow my user to select more than one

option at a time?

Yes. You can add the multiple attribute to the

<select> tag. In HTML, you simply type

multiple; in XHTML, you need to write

multiple=”multiple”. You can also add a

size attribute, with a value set to the number of

options you want to have the list show without

scrolling.

How can I choose more than one option when I

have the multiple attribute set?

You can press and hold to select multiple

contiguous options. For noncontiguous selection,

you can press and hold on Windows or on

a Mac. You should provide these instructions on

your page for your users.
