Specifying multiple for select

Rails
1

With select(), how can I get it to just add ‘multiple’
to the tag? Here’s what I’m doing:

select ‘obj’, ‘prop’, collection, {},
{:multiple=>true, :size=>10}

which outputs:

I’d like it to look like this:

Possible?

What’s wrong with multiple=“multiple”? It’s perfectly valid.

Uh, because the spec says ‘multiple’ not
‘multiple=“multiple”’.

‘multiple’ is no valid X(HT)ML. Every attribute must have a value.

It’s not valid XHTML. HTML 3 maybe, but all HTML parsers will accept
multiple=“multiple”, plus you get XHTML compliance should you need
it. Who looses here?

is valid HTML 4.01:

But you two are correct, attributes must have values
in XHTML:
http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/#h-4.4

Well, as long as browsers can handle
‘multiple=“multiple”’ and ‘selected=“selected”’ (which
at least my Firefox and IE can)…
