How to create a listbox in HTML without allowing multiple selection

Question

I don t have much experience in HTML  I am looking to create a simple listbox  but one of the requirements is to DISALLOW multiple selection  Most of the code for listboxes goes like this -     lt select name  sometext  multiple  multiple  gt       lt option gt text1 lt  option gt       lt option gt text2 lt  option gt       lt option gt text3 lt  option gt       lt option gt text4 lt  option gt       lt option gt text5 lt  option gt    lt  select gt    But this allows for multiple selection    Here  a similar question was asked  but the  best  answer has been downvoted  So I am not sure how else this could be done  Please help

Just use the size attribute    lt select name  sometext  size  5  gt     lt option gt text1 lt  option gt     lt option gt text2 lt  option gt     lt option gt text3 lt  option gt     lt option gt text4 lt  option gt     lt option gt text5 lt  option gt   lt  select gt    To clarify  adding the size attribute did not remove the multiple selection   The single selection works because you removed the multiple  multiple  attribute   Adding the size  5  attribute is still a good idea  it means that at least 5 lines must be displayed  See the full reference here
