Ok I now understand, however both formats are incorrect.
<select name="Color" size="1">
<option selected>navy
<option>white
<option>ivory
<option>black
<option>daffodil
<option>mint
<option>hunter
<option>light blue
</select>
<select name="Color" size="1">
<option selected value="navy">navy
<option value="white">white
<option value="ivory">ivory
<option value="black">black
<option value="daffodil">daffodil
<option value="mint">mint
<option value="hunter">hunter
<option value="light blue">light blue
</select>
The correct format is
<select name="Color" size="1">
<option selected value="navy">navy</option>
<option value="white">white</option>
<option value="ivory">ivory</option>
<option value="black">black</option>
<option value="daffodil">daffodil</option>
<option value="mint">mint</option>
<option value="hunter">hunter</option>
<option value="light blue">light blue</option>
</select>
The easiest way that I can think of, is to insert the dropdown into the page in normal / design
view, add 1 entry, then switch to HTML / Code View and then copy and paste for the number of items,
then edit the colors or create in notepad with all of the color, paste into page and delete the
colors that don't apply to the item.
