# HTMLDocument.addLazySelect(3kaya)

Lazily adds a selection box

## NAME

HTMLDocument::addLazySelect - Lazily adds a selection box

## SYNOPSIS

**ElementTree addLazySelect(** *ElementTree block, String name, Int ssize, \[Pair\<String, \[SelectOption\]\> \] optgroups* **)**

## ARGUMENTS

**parent** The parent element

**name** The name of the input. Remember that names starting with "kaya\_" may be used by the Kaya standard library and should not be used directly by applications.

**ssize** The size of the select element. If this is zero, the select element will only allow one option to be selected at any one time. If this is one or more, the select element will allow multiple options to be selected, and suggest to the browser that this many options be displayed simultaneously.

**optgroups** The options to select from

## DESCRIPTION

Adds a lazy selection box to a form. The end result after conversion to a **String**  is identical to that produced by **HTMLDocument.addSelectElement (3kaya)** , but the memory usage is lower. The disadvantage, however, is that **Webapp.autoFill (3kaya)** cannot be used to automatically complete forms containing lazy elements such as this one.
