To configure selection boxes (also
called combo boxes or drop-down boxes), use an HTML Property rule
(Rule-HTML-Property rule type).
Although HTML 4.01 does not require the VALUE attribute
for each OPTION in a selection box, do include the
VALUE attribute in source HTML. This allows the system to
display the current value of the property as the default (checked) value
in the selection box.
Use syntax similar to this to define a selection box:
<SELECT
NAME="myPage.myProperty">
<OPTION
VALUE="CORP">Corporate Account
<OPTION VALUE="REG">Regular
Account
<OPTION VALUE="PRES">Prestige
Account
</SELECT>
VANDJ 1/21/02 If this selection box is defined in an HTML
Property rule, omit the NAME attribute and its associated
VALUE. In this situation, the system supplies the NAME
attribute automatically based on the property that caused the HTML
Property rule to be used.
If the selection box choice is to become the value of a parameter, use
the Param keyword in the name attribute.
<SELECT
NAME="Param.myParameter">
<OPTION
VALUE="CORP">Corporate Account
<OPTION VALUE="REG">Regular
Account
<OPTION VALUE="PRES">Prestige
Account
</SELECT>
The MULTIPLE attribute for the SELECT element is not
supported. Q-1606
