Synopsis
How to render an option input field. Mostly used within the input select fields.
Description
The <option> HTML element is used to define an item contained in a <select>, an <optgroup>, or a <datalist> element. As such, <option> can represent menu items in popups and other lists of items in an HTML document.
Parameters
_input type="option". All valid HTML5 attributes are supported. There is one specific FlexForm parameter nohtmldecode. By default all values of an option input will be html decoded to get rid of special characters. To turn this off just add nohtmldecode as an argument to the option field.
Example
Using options with select:
<_label for="pet-select">Choose a pet:</_label>
<_select name="pets" id="pet-select">
<_input type="option" value="">--Please choose an option--</_input>
<_input type="option" value="dog">Dog</_input>
<_input type="option" value="cat">Cat</_input>
<_input type="option" value="hamster">Hamster</_input>
<_input type="option" value="parrot">Parrot</_input>
<_input type="option" value="spider">Spider</_input>
<_input type="option" value="goldfish">Goldfish</_input>
