value
Value to display in the selection list; for example, aCollege.name for each college object in the list.
selections

name
Name that uniquely identifies this element within the form. You can specify a name or let WebObjects automatically assign one at runtime.

multiple
If multiple evaluates to YES, the user can select multiple items from the list. If NO, the user can select only one item from the list. The default is NO.
size
How many items to display at one time. The default is 5. size must be greater than 1.
