This should have gone to the mailing list so I will repost it here:
Hi Russell, see http://tapestry.apache.org/using-select-with-a-list.html for a thorough explanation on how to do this. The problem I see in your approach is that you a an arbitrary number of select components having the same name. Perhaps you should try and make this a single component instead, where the group names are used for grouping individual options, namely the users that belong to that group. E.g. Morgue Accessoires Sales Dep John Doe Frank Stein Liquor Sales Dep George Doubleu John Wayne This is also supported by the HTML select element, using option groups. And, considering that this will render a single select element instead of twenty, this will increase overall useability a lot. The standard select component does not support this, but you can always extend upon that behaviour and implement your own custom component.
