The description of select is misleading. 'Select multiple="multiple"' is not a dropdown menu (it can't be, obviously). However, I'm struggling to think of a short and concise way of wording it. Perhaps someone else can have a go at making the following's information more readable:

The example image lacks the elegance of contemporary web pages. This is obvious from the programming point of view, because the code is an unadorned HTML, but the unassuming reader may not appreciate this, and it may be useful (unless it is required to illustrate history of forms) to use a contemporary example styled with CSS and whatnot, maybe a fragment of an actual form in use somewhere prominent?
