The underscore ("_") can be used in the ID name. The ID should be unique throughout the document. If more than one object with the same ID exists in a document, a collection of those named items is created that can only be referenced only by ordinal position.

VOICEFILE= url

Specifies the voice file attached with this element.

LANGUAGE= JAVASCRIPT | JSCRIPT | VBS | VBSCRIPT

Remarks

Both the start and end tags are required.

The announcement of the multiple-selection menu created by using the SELECT element with the MULTIPLE attribute includes all audio items (either voice files or textual) gathered before the element, the cue-before CSS property and the VOICEFILE attribute on the SELECT element, the voice files and cues from all of the OPTION elements, and finally, the cue-after CSS property on the SELECT element. When a caller makes a choice, the announcement of the menu starts from the item that is next to the chosen one. If an error (either a time-out or an non-valid key) is detected, announcements of all menu items are rendered excluding those that were already chosen. Audio items on the SELECT control itself are always rendered.
