The <option> element

A single item in a drop-down <select> menu.

Full list of attributes

All the usual HTML global attributes are available

disabled
If present, the browser won't allow the user to select this option, although it will still be displayed (probably greyed-out).
label
The text that should be shown to the user for this item. This might be different from the value, for example a recognizable name when the value is an arbitrary code number. If this attribute isn't used, then the browser will use the content of the <option> element as the label instead.
selected
Should be present in the option which is currently selected.
value
The text that should be used as the value of the <select> element when the form is submitted, if this option is the one chosen.
