Hey folks,

I'm a bit perplexed - I'm just trying to generate a simple list of options for a dropdown box, but when I try to load the page I get told "invalid selectOptions found". I've done this before and I'm pretty sure I'm doing it right -- if anyone can spot what I am doing wrong I'd appreciate it.

The VisualForce page:

<apex:page controller="TCSearchCon" tabstyle="Card__tab">
 <apex:sectionheader title="Search Contacts & Leads"/>
          <apex:image id="banner" value="{!$Resource.banner}"/><br/>

     <apex:pageblock >

              
          <apex:pagemessages >
          
          stuff
          </apex:pagemessages>
          <apex:form id="search">
                <apex:inputTextarea id="searchText" rows="1" cols="50" value="{!searchText}"/>
                <apex:selectList size="1" title="Search for..." value="{!searchType}">
                    <apex:selectOption value="{!searchTypes}"/>
                </apex:selectList>
                <p/>
                <apex:commandbutton action="{!submit}" value="Search" rerender="resultsPanel" status="status"/>
                <apex:commandbutton action="{!settings}" value="Settings"/>
          </apex:form>   
     <apex:outputPanel id="resultsPanel">
          <apex:actionstatus id="status" startText="Searching..."> 
             <apex:facet name="stop"> 
               <apex:outputPanel > 
                 <apex:outputText value="{!result}"/> 
              </apex:outputPanel> 
            </apex:facet> 
          </apex:actionstatus> 
     </apex:outputPanel> 
</apex:pageblock></apex:page>

And the Apex code:

public class TCSearchCon {


    public List<SelectOption> getsearchTypes() {
        List<SelectOption> searchTypes = new List<SelectOption>();
        searchTypes.add(new SelectOption('Name', 'name'));
        searchTypes.add(new SelectOption('Email', 'email'));
        searchTypes.add(new SelectOption('Company Name', 'company'));
        
        return searchTypes;
    }
    
    public List<SelectOption> searchTypes = getSearchTypes();

    public PageReference settings() {
        PageReference ref = Page.TCSettings;
        ref.setRedirect(true);
        return ref;
    }


    public String result { get; set; }

    public PageReference submit() {
        PageReference ref = Page.TCSearchList;
        ref.getParameters().put('searchText', searchText);
        ref.getParameters().put('searchType', searchType.getValue());
        ref.setRedirect(true);
        return ref;        
    }

    public SelectOption searchType { get; set; }
        
    public String searchText { get; set; }

}

Thanks!
