The <option> Tag (XHTML Reference)

Introduction

The <option> tag is always used as a nested tag in the <select> tag. You will never see this tag as a standalone. A <select> tag usually defines a list of options, which are displayed in a drop down list.

Example

<select name="Technologies">

  <option label="ASP.NET">ASP.NET</option>

  <option label="C#">C#</option>

  <option label="VB.NET">VB.NET</option>
