PHP question

What is the answer to this question? I thought it should be "option" but that is wrong.

We need to create a form with a dropdown. What is the name of the HTML element that creates a dropdown, replacing the question marks in the code below?

<form>

<label for="flavor">Flavor:</label>

<???? id="flavor" name="flavor">

    <XXXX value="Cake Batter">Cake Batter</XXXX>

    <XXXX value="Cookie Dough">Cookie Dough</XXXX>

</????>

</form>

Hi Roger,

To create a form drop down element, you use the following tags:

<select></select>

OIC - I misunderstood this code from the course.

<select name="os0" id="os0"> <option value="<?php echo $size; ?>"><?php echo $size; ?> </option> <?php } ?> </select>

Thanks, Hugo
