Oops... Sorry... Didn't know that it had passed hands. I think, though, that we're talking about two different packages. I know you have HTML_Select_Common (and never intended to take over that), but I was referring to HTML_Select, developed by Adam Daniel. It was in php4/pear, but was deleted without comment after he could no longer maintain it. I've attached the last CVS revision of the file (php4/pear/HTML/Select.php). Here's what happened. There was a request for HTML_Page (which had silently been dropped). I decided to try to take over ownership for that package. So I wrote to Adam Daniel, and he told me I could take over any unmaintained packages of his. So I wrote to the list mentioning my intent to do just that. When I looked at the packages, I thought that HTML_Select had been moved, because HTML_Select_Common exists, so that HTML_Page would be the only one of Adam's packages left. However, it was brought to my attention that HTML_Select in fact hadn't been moved: http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=pear-dev&m=105108967606669&w=2 Now, if HTML_Select_Common really replaces HTML_Select, I don't mind dropping it altogether. However, after an admittedly quick glance at the included files, I came to the conclusion that they are two separate packages. If this is not so, I really don't care about it. I haven't done any work to update HTML_Select, so just let me know if it has become obsolete. Apparently Mika doesn't think so.... I was planning on taking Bertrand's advice and changing the API to match the quickform select element syntax. Btw, Bertrand, if you want to maintain it, it's all yours. You know how it should act much better than I do, as you already worked it over.
