secondSelectTag()

Generates an HTML <select> form control populated with seconds (0–59) for a minute. You can bind it to a form parameter or manually set a selected value, control the step interval, include a blank option, and customize labels and HTML attributes. This is especially useful for time selection forms, like setting the seconds for a scheduled task or timestamp input.

Name	Type	Required	Default	Description
name	string	Yes		Name to populate in tag's name attribute.
selected	string	No		The day that should be selected initially.
secondStep	numeric	No	1	Pass in 10 to only show seconds 10, 20, 30, etc.
includeBlank	any	No	false	Whether to include a blank option in the select form control. Pass true to include a blank line or a string that should represent what display text should appear for the empty value (for example, "- Select One -").
label	string	No		The label text to use in the form control.
labelPlacement	string	No	around	Whether to place the label before, after, or wrapped around the form control. Label text placement can be controlled using aroundLeft or aroundRight.
prepend	string	No		String to prepend to the form control. Useful to wrap the form control with HTML tags.
append	string	No		String to append to the form control. Useful to wrap the form control with HTML tags.
prependToLabel	string	No		String to prepend to the form control's label. Useful to wrap the form control with HTML tags.
appendToLabel	string	No		String to append to the form control's label. Useful to wrap the form control with HTML tags.
encode	any	No	true	Use this argument to decide whether the output of the function should be encoded in order to prevent Cross Site Scripting (XSS) attacks. Set it to `true` to encode all relevant output for the specific HTML element in question (e.g. tag content, attribute values, and URLs). For HTML elements that have both tag content and attribute values you can set this argument to `attributes` to only encode attribute values and not tag content.

4. Include a blank option with custom text
