Method Details

getForm

HTMLFormElement getForm()

Returns the FORM element containing this control. Returns null if this control is not within the context of a form.

getDefaultSelected

boolean getDefaultSelected()

Represents the value of the HTML selected attribute. The value of this attribute does not change if the state of the corresponding form control, in an interactive user agent, changes. Changing defaultSelected , however, resets the state of the form control. See the selected attribute definition in HTML 4.0.

setDefaultSelected

void setDefaultSelected(boolean defaultSelected)

getText

String getText()

The text contained within the option element.

getIndex

int getIndex()

The index of this OPTION in its parent SELECT , starting from 0.

The control is unavailable in this context. See the disabled attribute definition in HTML 4.0.

getLabel

String getLabel()

Option label for use in hierarchical menus. See the label attribute definition in HTML 4.0.

setLabel

The current form control value. See the value attribute definition in HTML 4.0.
