Option

The HTML   element is used to create a control representing an option of a,  , or   element. In other words, it defines an option in a selected list.

Attributes

 * - If this Boolean attribute is set, this option is not checkable. Often browsers cancel out such control and it won't receive any browsing event, like mouse clicks or focus-related ones. If this attribute is not set, the element can still be disabled if one its ancestors is a disabled  element.
 * - This attribute is text for the label indicating the meaning of the option. If this attribute isn't defined, its value is that of the element text content.
 * - If present, this Boolean attribute indicates that the option is initially selected. If the  element is the descendant of a   element whose   attribute is not set, only one single   of this   element may have this attribute.
 * - The textual content of this attribute represents the label explaining the option. If it is not defined, its default value is the text content of the element.
