How do you make a select box type thing???

//////////////
//option 1//
//option 2//
//option 3//
//option 4//
//option 5//
/////////////

Like that....

I know about the select tag, but that isn't it.

Yes it is.
<select name="select">
<option value="1">1
<option value="2">2
<option value="3">3
</select>

Doesn't that make a dropdown box? I don't want a dropdownbox... I need a select box...

Try this
<select name="select" multiple>
<option value="1">1
<option value="2">2
<option value="3">3
</select>

say yes, that is what it is... but can you prevent people from choosing multiple things?

No-thats why its called Select Multiple.
Well, you could stop them at the validation phase, but not prevent them from selecting multiple items.

Actually, yes you can. You use the size attribute, rather than the multiple attribute:

<select name="select" size="3">
<option value="1">1</option>
<option value="2">2</option>
<option value="3">3</option>
</select>
