select options

[Nick Pellow]

Hi, 
Looking at:

http://jakarta.apache.org/struts/struts-html.html#select

I notice that for the name attribute, the following description is
given:
name   The fully-qualified java class name of the bean containing the
underlying property. [RT Expr]
Is this correct? I thought 'type' was usually used for class names and
'name' was used for variable names.

Could someone please tell me what the name attribute means and when it
should/shouldn't be used
with select boxes?

Cheers, 
Nick
