RE: setting 'selected' in html:select
All of Struts is two-way. Wherever you expect to get back a value, just put a value there to initialize it. So, to preselect an option, set the variable in your form you pointed to in the Select tag with the value you want preselected. It's really that easy. -- Larry Maturo [EMAIL PROTECTED] -Original Message- From: Struts Newsgroup [mailto:@[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Saturday, March 16, 2002 8:40 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: setting 'selected' in html:select Subject: setting 'selected' in html:select From: "blinky" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> === This may seem a really basic question but can anyone show me how to preset a value as selected in a struts tag???

Re: setting 'selected' in html:select
Subject: Re: setting 'selected' in html:select From: "blinky" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> === Jim, Only question then is whether I could invoke the action class prior to initial display of the view (ie. view jsp is the first thing thats displayed). I do have a servlet that fires initially for the entire application but its running in application context. I've since got around this by setting the actionform property as you said but doing it inside constructor of the actionform itself . I think this means when the jsp is very first displayed it creates the actionform and so sets the property Thanks for your help.

Re: setting 'selected' in html:select
Set the formbean attribute that corresponds to the "property" value of the enclosing tag. If the value exists in the nested options somewhere, then the tag will automatically add the "selected" attribute to the html output. This is normally done in the action class prior to forwarding to your view.
