For the file input type, the native messaging the browser provides differs. In Firefox, the file input reads "No files selected" when the attribute is present and "No file selected" when it is not. Most browsers display a scrolling list box for a <a href="/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/select"><code><select></code></a> control with the <code>multiple</code> attribute set and a single line dropdown when the attribute is omitted. The <a href="/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/input/email">email</a> input displays the same whether or not the <code>multiple</code> attribute is included, but will match the <a href="/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/:invalid"><code>:invalid</code></a> pseudo-class if more than one comma-separated email address is included if the attribute is not present.</p> <p>When <code>multiple</code> is set on the <a href="/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/input/email">email</a> input type, the user can include zero (if not also <a href="/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Attributes/required"><code>required</code></a>), one or more comma-separated email addresses.</p> <div class="code-example"><div class="example-header"><span class="language-name">html</span></div><pre class="brush: html notranslate"><code><input type="email" multiple name="emails" id="emails" /> </code></pre></div> <p>If and only if the <code>multiple</code> attribute is specified, the value can be a list of properly-formed comma-separated email addresses.
