00:00 video tutorial: multiple attribute on select element
00:09 by default select control allows you to select ONLY 1 option from the set of options
00:20 but if you add the multiple attribute on select control, you will be able to select MORE THAN 1 option from the set of options
00:30 you can select multiple options:
- by holding down CTRL key while selecting them OR
- by holding down mouse left button while selecting the options OR
- by holding down Shift key when selecting the last option
00:42 multiple attribute if present on select control, may have the next 2 values:
- empty string: ""
- attribute's canonical name: "multiple"
both values return the true value → the control allows multiple options selection
for false value (= only 1 option can be selected) simply don't add this attribute on the control
