The list control creates a pre-defined list that the user can select from.
There are two types of lists: drop down list and fixed list. Drop down list allows you to choose only one item from a list. Fixed List allows you to choose multiple items from a list. For example:
Current Month?
(Drop down list)
Enquiry Type?
(Fixed List)
The following areas need to be completed on the Webpage Dialog box for 'List':
Name
Enter the name you wish to use to refer to this text field. The name will be sent with value entered when form does submission.
Size
The number entered here provides the number of options that will be displayed to select from. If you want to create drop down list, please leave size as blank or 1. Any value greater than 1 entered in size, the fixed list will be created. For example,
Size = 1 (with 4 options)
Size = 2 (with 4 options)
Size = 4 (with 4 options)
Multiple Select
This option is selected (tick) when the visitor is allowed to select more than one option. ie. more than one item from the list will be able to be selected by clicking on one item, and while holding down the <Ctrl> key, highlighting another.

Values
In these fields, the text entered become the option items displayed on the form in list box
There are two fields that require information to be entered. The first field is value that will be submitted and the second is the value displayed in the list. These two fields may be the same or different. for example, Jan, Feb, Mar, Apr and May will be displayed in the list box and 1, 2, 3, 4, May will be submitted if they are selected.

Note: The first item in the list is the default selected item in listbox.
