- - ### Method Detail

    - #### getForm

          HTMLFormElement getForm()

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

    - #### getDefaultSelected

          boolean getDefaultSelected()

      Represents the value of the HTML selected attribute. The value of this attribute does not change if the state of the corresponding form control, in an interactive user agent, changes. Changing `defaultSelected` , however, resets the state of the form control. See the selected attribute definition in HTML 4.0.

    - #### setDefaultSelected

          void setDefaultSelected(boolean defaultSelected)

    - #### getText

          String getText()

      The text contained within the option element.

    - #### getIndex

          int getIndex()

      The index of this `OPTION` in its parent `SELECT` , starting from 0.

    - #### getDisabled

          boolean getDisabled()

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

    - #### setDisabled

          void setDisabled(boolean disabled)

    - #### getLabel

          String getLabel()

      Option label for use in hierarchical menus. See the label attribute definition in HTML 4.0.

    - #### setLabel

          void setLabel(String label)

    - #### getSelected

          boolean getSelected()

      Represents the current state of the corresponding form control, in an interactive user agent. Changing this attribute changes the state of the form control, but does not change the value of the HTML selected attribute of the element.

    - #### setSelected

          void setSelected(boolean selected)

    - #### getValue

          String getValue()

      The current form control value. See the value attribute definition in HTML 4.0.

    - #### setValue

          void setValue(String value)
