- * - `.option(name, [value])` can be used to set options for the select after it is created.
+ * It also assigns select-related methods to <a href="#/p5.Element">p5.Element</a> when selecting an existing select box. Options in the menu are unique by `name` (the display text).
+ * - `.option(name, [value])` can be used to add an option with `name` (the display text) and `value` to the select element. If an option with `name` already exists within the select element, this method will change its value to `value`.
  * - `.value()` will return the currently selected option.
  * - `.selected()` will return the current dropdown element which is an instance of <a href="#/p5.Element">p5.Element</a>.
  * - `.selected(value)` can be used to make given option selected by default when the page first loads.
