sObject fields name locate to a selectlist

Hy!

 

I want to use the name of the sObject field in  seleclist. How can I get this name?

I read the apex guide, but I don't undestand very well the sobject describe result. I need a STRING, but the method result is a SCHEMA.DESCRIBESOBJECTRESULT.

I need something similar:

 

public List<SelectOption> getCateg() {
   List<SelectOption> options = new List<SelectOption>();
   for (Account acc : [select id, Name from Account]) {
      String cat = acc.Name;
      options.add(new SelectOption(cat, cat));  
   }
   return options;
}
 
 But I need the name of the field (accountname, type, website, etc) insted of the value.

This should work:
 
 
public List<SelectOption> getCateg() {   List<SelectOption> options = new List<SelectOption>();   Map<String, Schema.SObjectType> schemaMap = Schema.getGlobalDescribe();Schema.SObjectType leadSchema = schemaMap.get('Account');Map<String, Schema.SObjectField> fieldMap = leadSchema.getDescribe().fields.getMap();for (String fieldName: fieldMap.keySet()) {    options.add(new SelectOption(fieldName, fieldName));  }   return options;}
