specifying multiple=true in html:select

Specifying multiple=true in this tag generates multiple="multiple" in
the HTML code.  Checking my HTML book shows multiple selects
in a select box with just the word MULTIPLE.  Is this the correct
behavior?

Cordially,

Oswald

Yes, it is correct.   Its irrelevant what the value of the MULTIPLE
attribute is, and its not well-formed XML to have an attribute without a
value.   This is addressed in XHTML in Section 4.5 here:
