Adding a Drop-Down Menu to Your
Bookings Page
You've already learned how you can use radio buttons to create multiple options for users to choose from. In this
section, you learn how to use the
<select>
and
<option>
elements to create a drop-down menu. You will then

To create a drop-down menu, you use a

<input>

of the form control as well as other attributes, such as its
class
and
id
.
