Re: GenericSelectOption

[Luther Baker]

I would like to display it as an option LABEL.

To test this, from within my GenericSelectOption<T> class - I've explicitly
made the label a list of special characters:

    public List<OptionModel> getOptions()
    {
        List<OptionModel> optionModelList = new ArrayList<OptionModel>();
        for (Initiative obj : this.list)
        {
            optionModelList.add(new OptionModelImpl(*"&nbsp; &ni; &amp;
&nbsp;"*, obj));
        }
        return optionModelList;
    }


and for what its worth from tapestry's OptionModelImpl:

public class OptionModelImpl extends AbstractOptionModel
{
    public OptionModelImpl(String label, Object value)
    {
        this.label = label;
        this.value = value;
    }


and in this case, I'm seeing

<option value="Notebook">&amp;nbsp; &amp;ni; &amp;amp; &amp;nbsp;</option>

outputt'd to the page.
