HTMLSelectElement: size property

{{ APIRef("HTML DOM") }}

The size property of the {{DOMxRef("HTMLSelectElement")}} interface specifies the number of options, or rows, that should be visible at one time. It reflects the {{htmlelement("select")}} element's size attribute. If omitted, the value is 0.

[!NOTE] While by default a <select> displays a single row unless {{DOMxRef("HTMLSelectElement.multiple", "multiple")}} is true, in which case four rows are displayed, the default value for the size property is 0.

Value

A number.

Examples
