The HTML node information panel says:

=============  
select string  
if not configured in the edit panel the selector can be set as a property of msg.

==============

Question, How do I configure the sendor message property to send a selector string to the HTML node?

set msg.select in a change, function or template node.  
e.g  
In change node  
set  
`msg.` `select`  
to the value  
`a/z (string)` `a`
