HTML element: <select>
Availability
|
Partial support as of BlackBerry®
Device Software version 3.7.
Full support as of BlackBerry Device Software version 4.6.

The <select> element specifies a selection list. A selection list can be a single-selection or a multiple-selection list. A selection list contains one or more option elements.
In a single-selection list, the <option> element with the selected attribute set is selected by default; otherwise, the first option in the list is selected by default.
In BlackBerry Device Software version 4.5 or earlier, the BlackBerry® Browser renders multiple-selection list items as a series of check boxes within the drop-down list. In BlackBerry Device Software version 4.6 or later, the BlackBerry® Browser renders multiple-selection list items in a listbox, similar to most desktop browsers.
The <option> elements with the selected attribute set are selected by default; otherwise, no options are selected.
Differences between HTML, XHTML, and XHTML-MP
