Adding a drop-down to Contact Form plugin

Question

The GitHub page shows how to add additional fields as input fields or checkboxes. But I can't figure out how to add drop-down fields. Is this possible?

<select>
  <option value="——" selected="selected">Please select...</option>
  <option name="message[model][]" value="volvo">Volvo</option>
  <option name="message[model][]" value="saab">Saab</option>
  <option name="message[model][]" value="mercedes">Mercedes</option>
  <option name="message[model][]" value="audi">Audi</option>
</select>

Thanks!

It's definitely possible, your HTML is just a little off...

When dealing with a dropdown menu, the name attribute should be part of the select tag, not each individual option:

<select name="message[model]">
  <option value="——" selected="selected">Please select...</option>
  <option value="volvo">Volvo</option>
  <option value="saab">Saab</option>
  <option value="mercedes">Mercedes</option>
  <option value="audi">Audi</option>
</select>
