In HTML there are a number of types of closed question:
* Select
* Radio Button
* Check Box
* Select - Multiple

'''Select'''
These are drop down lists. A user can only select one option from this type. The primary benefit of this type is that the list can be very long, but only one option is displayed at a time.

'''Radio Button'''
Small circular dots. Like Select you can only select one option but the difference is that all of the options are displayed on screen at the same time. This ensures that the user can see all the answer available at any time.

'''Check Box'''
Small boxes that can have a check mark placed in them. Like the Radio Button, all the items are displayed on the screen at the same time. This has the same draw backs as the Radio Button regarding space, but it does allow multiple answers to be selected.

'''Select - Multiple'''
This type is an extension of the Select type. The difference being that if you hold down the ctrl button on the keyboard whilst clicking options, multiple items can be selected. You can set the height of a Select - Multiple to show a minimum default amount of items. This option is rarely used but implemented for Forms with experienced users.
