       Conclusion

forms5Of particular interest, too, are the drop-down lists. To start with, just like radio buttons, these have to be told what items are in their lists.

Fairly intuitively, you will click the "Add..." button to add an item.  In the accompanying graphic, I´ve added four items

As you might expect, you can modify items once they´ve been created, change the order in which these items appear in the list, decide whether or not multiple items may be selected and so on.

Remember that the `choice´ is what the reader will see when making his/her selection, and the `value´ of each item is the thing that will actually be recorded when the form is submitted. (Notice that the value of `Other´ has been modified in this example. So, in this example, if someone chooses "Other",  the words "Not applicable" will be recorded.  The person filling in the form won't know this, of course.)
