HTML Select

[moneyman18]

Ok I have a question about select tags. Are select tags along with the size atribute and multiple selection option cross-browser? Or why do I see multiple checkboxes that take up a bit of space on the page when a select can be used? Is it easier to use/have checkboxes or is it just a matter of preference?

And if you don't know what I'm talking about it would be the example output field on this page.

Thank you

Yes, select is cross-browser. The size may change by a certain number of points/pixels when changing browser, but it still functions the same way - but altering the size. It's a cross-browser tag, size is cross-browser, and so is the multiple selection attribute is cross-browser.

What you're seeing are checkbox and radio input elements.
