A list displays a number of options from which the visitor can choose, as in Figure 68.5. Lists are better than radio buttons or checkboxes if the number of options is rather large, since lists make better use of space.
The size attribute of the list's select tag determines how many options are visible at once. If the list contains more options than this number, the browser adds a scrollbar to the right side of the list.
