HTML issues tagged as option.

Element “option” without attribute “label” must not be empty.

Drop-down lists can be defined in HTML by using the <select> tag, containing the different <option>s. Each <option> must have a name, which can be either contained between <option> and </option>, or alternatively using the label attribute.

Example:

<select name="size">
  <option value="s">small</option>
  <option value="m" label="medium"></option>
</select>

The first child “option” element of a “select” element with a “required” attribute, and without a “multiple” attribute, and without a “size” attribute whose value is greater than “1”, must have either an empty “value” attribute, or must have no text content. Consider either adding a placeholder option label, or adding a “size” attribute with a value equal to the number of “option” elements.

<select> elements that are required and are not multiple need a placeholder option that has no value, for example:

<select required>
  <option value="">choose size</option>
  <option value="s">small</option>
  <option value="l">large</option>
</select>
