Specification

None

Summary

This feature extends customizable select support for other rendering modes of select, including in-page listbox rendering via the size attribute and multi-select via the multiple attribute.

Blink component

Blink>DOM

Motivation

Multiple select is a very common use case on the web which is why we need to support the multiple attribute for customizable select. Supporting in-page rendering also allows authors to build their own picker or dialog to show the listbox, or use the listbox in-page rather than inside a popup.
