# HTMLDocument.SelectOption(3kaya)

An option for selection

## NAME

HTMLDocument::SelectOption - An option for selection

## SYNOPSIS

**HTMLDocument::SelectOption\<** **\>**

-

  \=  **SelectOption(***String label,String value,Bool chosen***)**

## DESCRIPTION

An option for selection. These can be used to make the \<option\> elements for a \<select\> or to describe a checkbox or radio button. The **value**  field may be left blank, in which case the contents of the **label**  field will be used in its place.

The **chosen**  field determines whether this option is initially selected when the page loads. The behaviour when multiple options in a non-multiple select or multiple radio buttons with the same name are marked as initially chosen is undefined, and so you should avoid this in your code.
