public class SortSelect

extends Object

implements GadgetBuilder

The SortSelect class is a gadget that builds an HTML select list of the sort keys for a database. It uses the parameters contained in a RequestManager object and the parameters for the gadget read from the configuration files to build the appropriate output. If an error occurs, an empty string("") is returned.

The parameters to the gadget are:
setSelected = true/false - to indicate the current sort keys
font = the string for the font of the text in radio buttons
separator = the string to put between the sort keys
selectsize = the size parameter for select lists
gadgetLabel = Text that precedes the select list
gadgetTrailer = Text that follows the select list

For efficiency purposes, the sort select string is generated one time for each database/gadgetName and saved in the gadget Hashtable object. Each subsequent request for the data is a table lookup to locate the appropriate string.
