RE: Javascript question...
You need to put a space in front of the word selected. Right now your HTML
output will contain:
option value=2005selected2005/option
This makes the value equal to 2005selected. By putting a space in between
the quote and the word selected - you will change the value to 2005 and
selected will be picked up correctly.
document.write('option value=' + i + ' selected' + i + '/option');
You should put double quotes around the value parameter - its cleaner HTML:
document.write('option value=' + i + ' selected' + i + '/option');
You might have to escape those - I'm not sure.

Subject: RE: Javascript question...
Richard...
I find this list to be more user friendly in terms of responding to
questions... Also, not that I do not use Struts at all... for this
particular requirement of an old project under maintenance, I am trying to
do this... I consider this to be very much knowledge sharing list and hence
post questions whenever I have any... thanks is advance...
Now, getting back to your question... this is the code...
script language=javascript
function generateYear(optionName,defaultValue) {
var today = new Date();
var year = today.getYear();
document.write('select NAME='+optionName+'');
document.write('option value=yearYear/option');
for (var i=(year-4);i(year+4);i++ ) {
if(defaultValue == i) {
document.write('option value=' + i +'selected' + i+'/option');
} else {
document.write('option value=' + i +'' + i+'/option');
}
}
document.write('/select');
}
html
script language=javascript
generateYear(optStartDtYear,2005);
/script
/html
My idea is to make '2005' selected when the page loads... The above code
fails to make '2005' selected!!! If you can make me know the reason, it'd be
great... Thanks!

Jacob,
You wrote: unfortunately we aren't using Struts here...?
If you aren't using Struts then
a) why are you asking this question on a Struts mailing list
b) What do you mean then when you write Now if I have values of day, month,
year executing an action. How can I default those values in the select
box???

Richard

Populating Web Forms After Validation Errors
I have a web form that includes several dropdown menus that must be populated dynamically from a database. I am using an Action called EditUserAction to setup the appropriate name value pairs for the dropdown menus. I am building the name value pairs as simple String arrays which I place in the request scope: request.setAttribute(startPageValues, startPageLabels); request.setAttribute(startPageLabels, startPageValues); When the action is complete it forwards processing to a JSP page which displays the form: /WEB-INF/jsp/editUser.jsp. In this JSP I have the following STRUT tag: html:select property=startPage styleClass=clear-select-menus html:options name=startPageValues labelName=startPageLabels / /html:select The form submits to the STRUTS controller and is configured to use an Action called ProcessEditUserAction. This all works perfectly and without a hitch. If I program the FormBean that these series of pages are using to validate the user submitted code - when there is an error, the FormBean is being sent to the /WEB-INF/jsp/editUser.jsp page without the name/value array pairs being generated. This then causes some problems. How do I architecturally handle this? My struts-config.xml file is pointing to /WEB-INF/jsp/editUser.jsp as the input mapping. Should that be different? If I do the validation in the FormBean, it seems like I can't get flow of control back to an Action? Am I missing something? Thanks!!! Joe Krause
Using Sturts-HTML tags in Template
I am trying to place the bulk of my navigation and HTML header code into a header.jsp file. Each JSP view page then includes a header.jsp and a footer.jsp file using the following: %@ include file = /templates/header.jsp % // Page specific implementation %@ include file = /templates/footer.jsp % This works great. But when I added the %@ taglib uri=/WEB-INF/struts-html.tld prefix=html % taglib directive and made html become html:html in the header.jsp file and /html become /html:html in the footer file, I get the following error: org.apache.jasper.JasperException: /WEB-INF/jsp/admin/employee/list.jsp(16,0) /templates/header.jsp(39,0) Unterminated tag Is there a way to have the html:html and the /html:html tags be in different physical .jsp files? I thought that by using the PAGE DIRECTIVE INCLUDE versus the TAGLIB INCLUDE I would be assured that the pages would be included at compile time and thus work. Please advise! Joe
Prepopulating Forms
I need to pre-populate an HTML form with values from a database. I have an action that sets up the form and a different action that processes the form. On the actual JSP page itself, if I set the action of the html:fom element to the processor action (which is what I need to do), then the form is not pre-populated with the dorm data from the actionForm. However, if I switch the html:form element to point to the setup page, then it works right (however, then it can't process the form). I know this is just some simple configuration proplem. Can somebody please show me the right way to do this? Here's my code and configuration: STRUTS-CONFIG.XML action path=/employee/edit type=com.multivision.actions.admin.employee.EditAction name=EmployeeForm validate=false forward name=success path=/WEB-INF/jsp/admin/employee/edit.jsp redirect=false / /action action path=/employee/editProcess type=com.multivision.actions.admin.employee.EditProcessAction name=EmployeeForm input=/employee/edit.do scope=request forward name=success path=/employee/list.do redirect=false / /action EDIT.JSP (no prepoluate, but form submits to processor action) html:form action=/employee/editProcess EDIT.JSP (Prepopulates, but form does not submit to processor action) html:form action=/employee/edit Thanks! Joe
How to make dynamic SELECT elements?
Can anyone please give me an example of a JSP page and the appropriate ActionForm object that would prepopulate the form on the JSP page specifically creating an HTML drop down Select menu using the Struts' HTML:SELECT tag? Or just send me a link to a tutorial that has it - I can't seem to find it in the Documentation anywhere. Thanks! Joe Krause

Hey Hey - thanks a lot. This helps. Your shameless plug is fine as long as you wrap it in a shameless-plug element like you have.
