<description>
The WMLSelect element lets users pick from a list of options. Each option is specified
by an Option element. Each Option element may have one line of formatted text
(which may be wrapped or truncated by the user agent if too long).
Option elements may be organised into hierarchical groups using the OptionGroup
element.
</description>
<parameter name="multiple" type="boolean" direction="in">
<description>
This attribute indicates that the select list should accept multiple selections.
When not set, the select list should only accept a single selected option.

<parameter name="title" type="java.lang.String" direction="in">
<description>
This attribute specifies a title for this element, which may be used in the
presentation of this object.

<parameter name="name" type="java.lang.String" direction="in">
<description>
The name attribute indicates the name of the variable to set with the result
of the selection. The variable is set to the string value of the chosen option
element, which is specified with the value attribute. The name variable's value
is used to pre-select options in the select list.
</description>
</parameter>
<parameter name="value" type="java.lang.String" direction="in">
<description>
The value attribute indicates the default value of the variable named in the
name attribute. When the element is displayed, and the variable named in the
name attribute is not set, the name variable may be assigned the value
specified in the value attribute, depending on the values defined in iname and
ivalue. If the name variable already contains a value, the value attribute is
ignored. Any application of the default value is done before the list is
pre-selected with the value of the name variable.
If this element allows the selection of multiple options, the result of the
user's choice is a list of all selected values, separated by the semicolon
character. The name variable is set with this result. In addition, the value
attribute is interpreted as a semicolon-separated list of pre-selected options.
