Form Dropdown - Select multiple options

Currently using Version 7.0 (Mara Brag template) for a website and I have a dropdown menu in a form. This form is made with a dropdown menu that has 8 options. The client wants to be able to have the end user select multiple options in the dropdown list. 

Is there code that can achieve this?

Thanks in advance!  

It is not possible to use a the default select drop down on SS for multiple selections. Although you can change its behaviour in the browser with JavaScript. SS's backend does not expect multiple selections and only processes one of the selections.

You can of course use checkbox to select multiple items.

If your client is really married to the multiple select, which by the way really isn't a drop down any more but a multi-select list. It may be possible to fake it with JavaScript and CSS. But this wouldn't' be easy and I don't know of any code that does this. The idea would be to use the checkbox but hide it with CSS. Then use JavaScript to build a multi-select list from the checkboxes then when the form is submitted, read the multi-select and populate the checkboxes.

Thank you for the help. I didn't think there was a way - but there are more clever people (yourself) that know the capabilities of SS more clearly! 

Thanks again!
