HTML <select> multiple Attribute

Last Updated : 26 May, 2026

The multiple attribute allows users to select more than one option from a dropdown list. It is commonly used when multiple selections are required in a form.

  • Enables selection of multiple options in a <select> element.
  • Users can select multiple items using keyboard keys like Ctrl or Shift.
  • It is a boolean attribute, so its presence alone enables multiple selection.

Syntax: 

 <select multiple>
