General Tab (Select Properties Dialog Box)

Allows you to set the size and specify the options for a list box or drop-down list.

Options

Name

Specifies a name for the list, list box, or drop-down list element. This option is the same as the name attribute of the select tag.

Size

Specifies the height of the list by increasing or decreasing the number of viewable list options. Increasing the height of the list box can create a scrollable list or a static list box of options. Setting this option to 0 creates a drop-down list.

Indicates that users can select two or more options in the list using the CTRL or SHIFT keys.
