public abstract class HtmlGroups

extends HtmlInput

This abstract class forms the superclass of all the HTML grouping facilities. Currently these consist of 'checkbox' and 'radio', both of which are accessed by the <input> tag.

The group will be populated by a data structure capable of mapping keys to entries. The keys in this data structure will be the value of the group element and the entry will be the displayed text. The name should come from the setName() method

This class (HtmlGroups.java) is part of the com.raj.htmlForms package that automatically generates HTML forms programmatically.
