Thanks. I've been around long enough to recognize when I'm probably going
down the wrong path. That's why I backed off and gave the overall problem I
was trying to solve rather than simply focus on my first-cut somewhat awkward
attempt at a solution. Your suggestion of maintaining the lists and
generating simple integer keys into them for the select tag is superior in
this instance and that's what I'll implement.
I was also glad to get the answer to my question of how to fetch from an
integer key value. While it's probably not the way to go for this problem,
it'll probably turn up somewhere else.
