What is HTML form selected?

An HTML form selectet is used to collect user input from a drop-down list. The user input is most often sent to a server for processing.

 <select> tag is used to create a drop-down list .

<select> tag is most used in a form, to collect user data input.

The <option> element inside the <select> tag define the options in the drop-down list.

Always add  <label> element for best accessibility practices!

Syntax:

<form action="your link action">
<label> your keyword </label>
<select name="value">
.......
</select>
</form>

The select attribute appears between our opening" <form>" tag and "</form>" without quotes.

HTML form select option

How do you create a form select action?
The <select> HTML element represents a control that provides a menu of options.

We shows a typical example form with <select> usage and we associate an id attribute
to enable it to be connected with a <label> for accessibility purposes.
Then a name attribute to represent the name of the associated data point submitted to the server.

For a better understanding we present an example:

Example (this is HTML - PHP editor, change text on this window)
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>

<h1>The select option element</h1>

<form action="your action URL page">
<label for="towna">Choose a town:</label>
<select name="towns" id="towns">
<option value="volvo">Paris</option>
<option value="saab">Madrid</option>
<option value="opel">New York</option>
<option value="audi">Tokyo</option>
</select> <br><br>
<input type="submit" value="Submit">
</form>

<p>Select your town and then click the "Submit" button and the form-data will be sent to a page on the
server.</p>

</body>
</html>

HTML form select multiple items

We make an example where a user can choose multiple choices using checkbox

Example (this is HTML - PHP editor, change text on this window)
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body> <h1>Form select multiple itemst</h1>

<form method="post" action="your URL action">
<fieldset>
<legend>What is Your Favorite Town?</legend>
<input type="checkbox" name="favorite_town"
value="Cats">Tokyo<br>
<input type="checkbox" name="favorite_town"
value="Dogs">London<br>
<input type="checkbox" name="favorite_town"
value="Birds">Barcelona<br>
<input type="checkbox" name="favorite_town"
value="Birds">Paris<br>
<br>
<input type="submit" value="Submit" />
</fieldset>
</form>

<p>Select your town and then click the "Submit"
button and the form-data will be sent to a page on the
server.</p>

</body>
</html>

The users also ask: form select multiple items, options, files, checkboxes, radio buttons, columns, values php, array, rows, example, post.

 

Form select radio button

Radio buttons let a user select only one of a limited number of choices:

The <input type="radio"> defines a radio button. Radio buttons are presented in radio groups and only one radio button can be selected at the same time in a group.

Example (this is HTML - PHP editor, change text on this window)
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>

<h1>How to display Radio Buttons</h1>

<form action="your URL page action">
<p>Please select your favorite Web language:</p>
<input type="radio" id="html"
name="fav_language" value="HTML">
<label for="html">HTML</label><br>
<input type="radio" id="css"
name="fav_language" value="CSS">
<label for="css">CSS</label><br>
<input type="radio" id="PHP"
name="fav_language" value="PHP">
<label for="css">PHP</label><br>
<input type="radio" id="ASP"
name="fav_language" value="ASP">
<label for="css">ASP</label><br>
<input type="radio" id="javascript"
name="fav_language" value="JavaScript">
