As soon as this pops up, it would make much more sense to have a package that defines different data such as countries, .us states, .uk counties, .ca provinces, .no "fylker" or whatever. Binding them straight into a class stops making sense the second someone wants to use HTML_Select for something else. Detach the data and the presentation. Now, what about class names for the different lists? Data_Something? List_Something? Constant_Something? Ideas anyone? - Stig
