Creating Select Boxes

Select boxes are perfect for offering your visitors a choice from a given set of options. They are most often rendered as drop-down lists. If you give the user the option to select multiple answers, the select box will render as a box of items with a scroll bar .

Select boxes are made up of two HTML elements: select and option. You set the common name attribute in the select element, and you set the value attribute in each of the option elements.

We’ll use CSS again to adjust the font size. You can adjust the width, color, and other attributes using CSS, but each browser displays drop-down lists slightly differently.
