I don't mean to be dense.
According to both _Teach_Yourself_Java_in_21_Days_ and _Java_in_a_Nutshell_,
protected methods should also be available to other classes in the same package.
The two classes in question are both in the package spider.visual. Thus, the
method should be available.
As to what I'm trying to do: I'm trying to create a two-dimensional array of
check boxes. In order to do this, it appears that I need to override the
subscripting of the repeated fields because NetDynamics numbers each row's
fields as [0], [1], [2], [3], and [4] (actually there is no subscript at all for
the [0]).
I wanted to use the getHtmlNameText and getHtmlValueText methods to assist me in
creating the HTML in the OnBeforeHtmlOutputEvent method.
There are workarounds for me, but the issue seems to be that the methods are
unavailable when they shouldn't be.

Let me take a whack at this.
You are attempting to use CSpDisplayField.getHtmlValueText (which is
protected) within a method in a subclass of CSpPage.
CSpDisplayField is a child of CSpVisual.
CSpPage is a child of CSpCommonPage which is a child of CSpDataDrivenVisual
which is a child of CSpVisual.
That makes CSpPage sort of a distant cousin to CSpDisplayField.
Thus, the protected methods of CSpDisplayField are not accessible to methods
within CSpPage.
Now, you've said that "getHtmlText" returns more information than what you
want. Perhaps if you tell us what you're trying to accomplish, we can be of
more help.
