B45 Pro Select

Theabove example shows typical usage. It is given an id attribute to enable it to be associated with a for accessibility purposes, as well as a name attribute to represent the name of the associated data point submitted to the server. Each menu option is defined by an element nested inside the .

Each element should have a value attribute containing the data value to submit to the server when that option is selected. If no value attribute is included, the value defaults to the text contained inside the element. You can include a selected attribute on an element to make it selected by default when the page first loads.

The element has some unique attributes you can use to control it, such as multiple to specify whether multiple options can be selected, and size to specify how many options should be shown at once. It also accepts most of the general form input attributes such as required, disabled, autofocus, etc.

This Boolean attribute indicates that the user cannot interact with the control. If this attribute is not specified, the control inherits its setting from the containing element, for example ; if there is no containing element with the disabled attribute set, then the control is enabled.

The element to associate the with (its form owner). The value of this attribute must be the id of a in the same document. (If this attribute is not set, the is associated with its ancestor element, if any.)

This Boolean attribute indicates that multiple options can be selected in the list. If it is not specified, then only one option can be selected at a time. When multiple is specified, most browsers will show a scrolling list box instead of a single line dropdown.

If the control is presented as a scrolling list box (e.g. when multiple is specified), this attribute represents the number of rows in the list that should be visible at one time. Browsers are not required to present a select element as a scrolled list box. The default value is 0.

Note: According to the HTML specification, the default value for size should be 1; however, in practice, this has been found to break some websites, and no other browser currently does that, so Mozilla has opted to continue to return 0 for the time being with Firefox.

However, these properties don't produce a consistent result across browsers, and it is hard to do things like line different types of form element up with one another in a column. The element's internal structure is complex, and hard to control. If you want to get full control, you should consider using a library with good facilities for styling form widgets, or try rolling your own dropdown menu using non-semantic elements, JavaScript, and WAI-ARIA to provide semantics.

The WHERE clause, if given, indicates the condition or conditions that rows must satisfy to be selected. where_condition is an expression that evaluates to true for each row to be selected. The statement selects all rows if there is no WHERE clause.

DUAL is purely for the convenience of people who require that all SELECT statements should have FROM and possibly other clauses. MySQL may ignore the clauses. MySQL does not require FROM DUAL if no tables are referenced.

However, because the AS is optional, a subtle problem can occur if you forget the comma between two select_expr expressions: MySQL interprets the second as an alias name. For example, in the following statement, columnb is treated as an alias name:

To sort in reverse order, add the DESC (descending) keyword to the name of the column in the ORDER BY clause that you are sorting by. The default is ascending order; this can be specified explicitly using the ASC keyword.

The HAVING clause, like the WHERE clause, specifies selection conditions. The WHERE clause specifies conditions on columns in the select list, but cannot refer to aggregate functions. The HAVING clause specifies conditions on groups, typically formed by the GROUP BY clause. The query result includes only groups satisfying the HAVING conditions. (If no GROUP BY is present, all rows implicitly form a single aggregate group.)

The SQL standard requires that HAVING must reference only columns in the GROUP BY clause or columns used in aggregate functions. However, MySQL supports an extension to this behavior, and permits HAVING to refer to columns in the SELECT list and columns in outer subqueries as well.

Preference is given to standard SQL behavior, so if a HAVING column name is used both in GROUP BY and as an aliased column in the select column list, preference is given to the column in the GROUP BY column.

MySQL permits duplicate column names. That is, there can be more than one select_expr with the same name. This is an extension to standard SQL. Because MySQL also permits GROUP BY and HAVING to refer to select_expr values, this can result in an ambiguity:

MySQL resolves unqualified column or alias references in ORDER BY clauses by searching in the select_expr values, then in the columns of the tables in the FROM clause. For GROUP BY or HAVING clauses, it searches the FROM clause before searching in the select_expr values. (For GROUP BY and HAVING, this differs from the pre-MySQL 5.0 behavior that used the same rules as for ORDER BY.)

The LIMIT clause can be used to constrain the number of rows returned by the SELECT statement. LIMIT takes one or two numeric arguments, which must both be nonnegative integer constants, with these exceptions:

You cannot use FOR UPDATE as part of the SELECT in a statement such as CREATE TABLE new_table SELECT ... FROM old_table .... (If you attempt to do so, the statement is rejected with the error Can't update table 'old_table' while 'new_table' is being created.)

FOR SHARE and LOCK IN SHARE MODE set shared locks that permit other transactions to read the examined rows but not to update or delete them. FOR SHARE and LOCK IN SHARE MODE are equivalent. However, FOR SHARE, like FOR UPDATE, supports NOWAIT, SKIP LOCKED, and OF tbl_name options. FOR SHARE is a replacement for LOCK IN SHARE MODE, but LOCK IN SHARE MODE remains available for backward compatibility.

Queries that skip locked rows return an inconsistent view of the data. SKIP LOCKED is therefore not suitable for general transactional work. However, it may be used to avoid lock contention when multiple sessions access the same queue-like table.

All tables referenced by the query block are locked when OF tbl_name is omitted. Consequently, using a locking clause without OF tbl_name in combination with another locking clause returns an error. Specifying the same table in multiple locking clauses returns an error. If an alias is specified as the table name in the SELECT statement, a locking clause may only use the alias. If the SELECT statement does not specify an alias explicitly, the locking clause may only specify the actual table name.

Following the SELECT keyword, you can use a number of modifiers that affect the operation of the statement. HIGH_PRIORITY, STRAIGHT_JOIN, and modifiers beginning with SQL_ are MySQL extensions to standard SQL.

The ALL and DISTINCT modifiers specify whether duplicate rows should be returned. ALL (the default) specifies that all matching rows should be returned, including duplicates. DISTINCT specifies removal of duplicate rows from the result set. It is an error to specify both modifiers. DISTINCTROW is a synonym for DISTINCT.
