RE: preview form
Have in mind that in selects tags, you have a value and a text, and the user sees the text, but the value is in fact the id, so if you shows the value with bean:write name=orderForm property=productId user will see the id and not the description. For this problem we use a tag that extends WriteTag and uses Providers (http://providers.sourceforge.net/) to show the description. And we use providers to populate the Select Options. Cheers.

preview form
Hi Gang, I have a form that the client would like to be 'previewed' before users can submit.

RE: preview form
We needed a read only version of a selection list as well, but the need wasn't apparent until after one of our developers had already finished writing all the JSP's. The solution I came up with was to write a subclass of the SelectionTag (and OptionTag, OptionsTag) to override the functionality of the read-only attribute. Basically, if it is read-only I render a read-only text box instead of a selection list. Then it was quick to change all of our selection lists by globally changing the prefix for the existing selection tags to the prefix we use for our own custom tags. Not sure if this was the best method, but in our case it was the quickest and easiest.

Re: preview form
Maybe you can use a read-only text field to display the selected value of the drop-down on your preview page. You can get the label of the drop down in your action class for Preview , and then set the form bean property for the same. Also, use logic:equal on your JSP to check for the user action, and display drop-down or text field accordingly. HTH, Shyam P.S.

RE: preview form
Read-only and disabled don't have the same meaning here. For a read-only field, the value cannot be changed by the user, but it still gets submitted with the rest of the form values. For a disabled field, the user cannot change the value, and the value does NOT get submitted. -Original Message- From: Dan Tran [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, February 16, 2004 4:34 PM To: Struts Users Mailing List Subject: Re: preview form select does support readonly , unfortunaely it does not understand readonly attribute, but only disabled -Dan - Original Message - From: Janice [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, February 16, 2004 1:03 PM Subject: preview form Hi Gang, I have a form that the client would like to be 'previewed' before users can submit.

Re: preview form
Hello again, Thanks for the responses. What I ended up with was having my original form take the user to the preview form where all the form elements were disabled, instead of readonly. It even provides a nice visual clue that the form isn't for input, since all the fields are slightly greyed out (I just hope the users can still read it!). Then from there the user can either accept or reject the values entered or changed.
