The above example demonstrates usage of the <select> element.

The <select> element represents a control for selecting amongst a set of options. This is typically rendered as a drop down menu containing a list of options.

In a <select> list, each option is represented by an <option> element. If there are many items, they can (optionally) be grouped using the <optgroup> element.

multiple: Whether to allow multiple values
