Hi, Fabio Thanks for the tip. Unfortunately it is not going to work for me. I don't have the list of all possible options for the second box until the selection in first bos is made. I need to get them from the database after I know which country was selected.
However I found the answer in Struts users archive - I have to use Javascript to detect choices in the first select list and submit the form from this script. In the Action that receives the form, I will check the value of a hidden variable to see if this submit is for the redisplaying the same jsp with newly populated second box or this is a final "submit". If this is for redisplaying - Action gets the data for the second box from the database and forwards back to the same jsp with updated values.
