Thanks for the tip. I think I can probably do something like you describe.
One of things I'm finding frustrating with Laszlo is that there are many
things which should be simple to do, but in Laszlo they aren't. If 'list'
is going to offer a selectAt(index) method, it would seem there should be
an easy way to get the currently selected item index. I seem to be
running into this a lot lately. Perhaps it just means I'm not doing
things the 'right' way.
Thanks again for your help.

When you build a list item, you can set a "value" and make it the index.
Here's some code off the top of my head. It won't compile or anything
but
it will give you an idea what I mean...
Here's some data...
<resultset>
<result id="0" year="1989"/>
<result id="1" year="1990"/>
<result id="2" year="1991"/>
<result id="3" year="1992"/>
<result id="4" year="1993"/>
<result id="5" year="1994"/>
<result id="6" year="1995"/>
<result id="7" year="1996"/>
<result id="8" year="1997"/>
<result id="9" year="1998"/>
<result id="10" year="1999"/>
<result id="11" year="2000"/>
<result id="12" year="2001"/>
<result id="13" year="2002"/>
<result id="14" year="2003"/>
<result id="15" year="2004"/>
<result id="16" year="2005"/>
<result id="17" year="2006"/>
</resultset>
here's a combo box (I left out the datapath stuff)...
<combobox name="cb1" editable="false">
<textlistitem text="$path{'@year'}" value="$path{'@id'}" />
</combobox>
Then you can say something like...
var index = cb1.getValue();

Subject: [Laszlo-user] Obtaining the index of an item in a list
I have a list which is constructed from XML. When a user makes a
selection I want to remember so I can use a selectItemAt call at some
point in the future. As far as I can tell, there is no way to get the
index of a selected item in a list. Am I overlooking something?
Thanks!
