Method Detail

### getType

    public java.lang.String getType()

  The type of this form control. This is the string "select-multiple" when the multiple attribute is `true` and the string "select-one" when `false` .

### getSelectedIndex

    public int getSelectedIndex()

  The ordinal index of the selected option, starting from 0. The value -1 is returned if no element is selected. If multiple options are selected, the index of the first selected option is returned.

### setSelectedIndex

    public void setSelectedIndex(int selectedIndex)

### getValue

    public java.lang.String getValue()

  The current form control value.

### setValue

    public void setValue(java.lang.String value)

### getLength

    public int getLength()

  The number of options in this `SELECT` .

### getForm

    public HTMLFormElement getForm()

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

### getOptions

    public HTMLCollection getOptions()

  The collection of `OPTION` elements contained by this element.

### getDisabled

    public boolean getDisabled()

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

### setDisabled

    public void setDisabled(boolean disabled)

### getMultiple

    public boolean getMultiple()

  If true, multiple `OPTION` elements may be selected in this `SELECT` . See the multiple attribute definition in HTML 4.0.

### setMultiple

    public void setMultiple(boolean multiple)

### getName

    public java.lang.String getName()

  Form control or object name when submitted with a form. See the name attribute definition in HTML 4.0.

### setName

    public void setName(java.lang.String name)

### getSize

    public int getSize()

  Number of visible rows. See the size attribute definition in HTML 4.0.

### setSize

    public void setSize(int size)

### getTabIndex

    public int getTabIndex()

  Index that represents the element's position in the tabbing order. See the tabindex attribute definition in HTML 4.0.

### setTabIndex

    public void setTabIndex(int tabIndex)

### add

    public void add(HTMLElement element,
                    HTMLElement before)
             throws DOMException

  Add a new element to the collection of `OPTION` elements for this `SELECT` . This method is the equivalent of the `appendChild` method of the `Node` interface if the `before` parameter is `null` . It is equivalent to the `insertBefore` method on the parent of `before` in all other cases.
  Parameters:
