Sue,

The FormTag has a couple of methods to get INPUT and TEXTAREA tags. You 
should use something like those:

    /**
     * Get the list of input fields.
     * @return Input elements in the form.
     */
    public NodeList getFormInputs()
    {
        return (searchFor (InputTag.class, true));
    }

but search for SelectTag.class and call the method getSelects(). If you 
want a specific named SELECT, then you should use something like the 
equivalent methods for INPUT and TEXTAREA:

    /**
     * Get the input tag in the form corresponding to the given name
     * @param name The name of the input tag to be retrieved
     * @return Tag The input tag corresponding to the name provided
     */
    public InputTag getInputTag (String name)
    {
        InputTag inputTag;
        boolean found;
        String inputTagName;

        inputTag = null;
        found = false;
        for (SimpleNodeIterator e = 
getFormInputs().elements();e.hasMoreNodes() && !found;)
        {
            inputTag = (InputTag)e.nextNode();
            inputTagName = inputTag.getAttribute("NAME");
            if (inputTagName!=null && inputTagName.equalsIgnoreCase(name))
                found=true;
        }
        if (found)
            return (inputTag);
        else
            return (null);
    }

but use your new getSelects() method.
