Check the archives. This is another one of those questions that gets asked (and answered) frequently.

IMO, you should be setting the default value of your form items in your ActionForm, not the JSP tag. Ex: public class YourForm extends ActionForm { private String someCheckBox = "true"; // This sets the default value // getters and setters for same; will get called after form submission public void reset() { someCheckBox = "false"; // Need this here to handle submission of unchecked boxes } } In your JSP: <html:form action="someAction"> <!-- This Action, of course, uses YourForm --> <html:checkbox property="someCheckBox" /> <!-- Will be checked since you set it to true in your ActionForm --> </html:form> -= J > -----Original Message----- > From: John Bateman [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Tuesday, January 14, 2003 3:51 PM > To: Struts Users Mailing List > Subject: HTML Checkbox... > > Hi > > I read the docs but I can't seem to find a way to render this button > 'checked' when I try and display it. > > I've tried: > > <html:checkbox name="something" value="true"/> > <html:checkbox name="something" value="yes"/> > <html:checkbox name="something" value="YES"/> > > And neither of them work. > > Thanks > > > -- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: > <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > For additional commands, e-mail: > <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > > -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
