  • label: This attribute contains the text value which represents the shorted label for the option.
  • selected: This attribute contains the value selected which represents the item is pre-selected when the browser loaded.
  • value: This attribute contains the value text which sent to the server.

Syntax:

document.getElementById("ID");

Where “id” is the ID assigned to the “Option” tag.
