Here is a reply I made to an earlier post on the same subject: This topic has been addressed *numerous* times on this list. However, I understand what a PITA searching on mail-archive is, so here goes:
Firstly take a look at the html-select.jsp that is part of the struts-exercise-taglib application that ships with struts. It should answer all your questions. In summary, the value that you see selected by default corresponds to the current value of the property identified by the 'property' attribute. So, if you have <html:select name="foo" property="role"> <html:option value="emp">Employee</html:option> <html:option value="mgr">Manager</html:option> <html:option value="stu">Student</html:option> <html:option value="sec">Security</html:option> </html:select> and the value of the property 'role' in the bean 'foo' is set to 'stu', then when the page displays the displayed (in the case of select of size 1) value will be 'Student'.

How can I make an item as default so every time I open the page that contains the dropdown list, it will show the default. Thanks. Cathy --------------------------------- Post your free ad now!
