Frequently asked questions
How do I set a different value and label?
Write each line as value|label, for example us|United States. The text before the pipe becomes the option value and the text after becomes the visible label. A line with no pipe uses the same text for both.
What does the multiple attribute do?
Adding multiple lets users select more than one option, and the control renders as a scrolling list box instead of a single-choice dropdown.
What is a placeholder option?
An optional disabled, selected first option (like Choose one…) prompts the user without being a valid submittable value, improving form usability.
