Interface Select

AbstractSelect

public interface Select
extends Input

Represents a combobox/list type input field.

An HTML form with such a combo might look like:

  <form>
      <select name="letter">
          <option value="a" />
          <option value="b" />
          <option value="c" selected="selected" />
          <option value="d" />
          <option value="e" />
      </select>
  </form>
 

The above block of HTML would corrospond to a Select with the following values:

• select.getOptions(): [a, b, c, d, e]
• select.getName(): "letter"
• select.getValue(): c

Note: There is essentially no difference between this interface and the RadioInput interface. HTML separates them for presentation purposes. So do we. By having a separate interface we don't lose important information from within the HTML form. We can use this information to auto-create Swing UI representations.
