RE: How do I Copy/Clone an "extended" Select Object????

Stephan:

I made a dumb casting mistake and it is now
working.  Thanks for responding.

I have 2 more questions.

QUESTION 1:
I have created a select object with
4 options. How can I select the 3rd 
option by value?

For example, is there a way to do the following:
Select mySelect = new Select("Test");
Option option1               =  new Option("Option 1");
Option option2               =  new Option("Option 2");
Option option3               =  new Option("Option 3");
Option option4               =  new Option("Option 4");
option1.addElement("HELLO1");
option2.addElement("HELLO2");
option3.addElement("HELLO3");
option4.addElement("HELLO4");
option5.addElement("HELLO5");
mySelect.addElement(option1);
mySelect.addElement(option2);
mySelect.addElement(option3);
mySelect.addElement(option4);

mySelect.selectElementByValue("Option 3");<----------------HOW CAN I DO
THIS?

QUESTION 2:
Is there a way to determine the number of options in a Select object?

Once Again Many Thanks:

Alex

That should work, as Select just extends MultiPartElement which extends
ConcreteElement which implements Cloneable.  Just out of curiosity can you
duplicate the problem outside the scope of your jsp page?
