Generate a Select element as a string.
name is the name of the element. The values are
the options that can be selected from the Select menu. Each value can be a
String or a one, two, or three-element Array. If a String or a one-element
Array, this is both the value of that option and the text displayed for it.
If a three-element Array, the elements are the option value, displayed
text, and a boolean value specifying whether this option starts as
selected. The two-element version omits either the option value (defaults
to the same as the display text) or the boolean selected specifier
(defaults to false).
The attributes and options can also be specified as a hash. In this case, options are specified as an array of values as described above, with the hash key of âVALUESâ.
