HTML <select> Tag


The <select> element is employed to make a dropdown list.

The <select> element is commonly used in a form to gather information from users.

The name attribute is essential for identifying the form data once the form is submitted. If you leave out the name attribute, no data from the drop-down list will be sent when the form is submitted.

The dropdown list needs the id attribute to link it with a label.

The options in the dropdown list are determined by the <option> tags within the <select> element.

Tip: Ensure that you use the tag to enhance accessibility.
