Synopsis
How to render an option input field. Mostly used within the input select fields.
Description
The < option > HTML element is used to define an item contained in a < select >, an < optgroup >, or a < datalist > element. As such, < option > can represent menu items in popups and other lists of items in an HTML document.
Parameters
< option >. All valid HTML5 attributes are supported. There is a specific FlexForm parameter nohtmldecode. By default all values of an option input will be html decoded to get rid of special characters. To turn this off just add nohtmldecode as an argument to the option field. Options have by default comma separated values when adding to a Template. You can specify a different separator using the argument separator. e.g. separator=";".
Example
Using options with select:
<label for="pet-select">Choose a pet:</label>
<select name="pets" id="pet-select">
<option value="">--Please choose an option--</option>
<option value="dog">Dog</option>
<option value="cat">Cat</option>
<option value="hamster">Hamster</option>
<option value="parrot">Parrot</option>
<option value="spider">Spider</option>
<option value="goldfish">Goldfish</option>
</select>
