Hi Simon,
suppose you have the following
labels in options:
green
yellow
red
and the corresponding values:
1
2
3
All you have to do is:
<html:select property="color">
<html:options collection="allcolors" property="id"
propertyLabel="name"/>
</html:select>
where 'color' is an: private int color;
in your ActionForm bean
and 'allcolors' is a collection of beans
so if you want the 'yellow' to be preselected you just set the
'color' property of your form to value 2 before displaying the JSP.
regards,
Philip
