| Title | Title attribute label for pulldown menu in form [new] |
|---|---|
| Description | A document with a simple search form. The search form contains a text field (with a label) and a pulldown menu. The pulldown menu (created with a select element) has a title attribute that identifies it.
(The title attribute is used instead of the label element because the pulldown menu is immediately adjacent to the text field.) All the user interface components are created with standard XHTML without scripting.
