By magic. ;) But in this case, who knows what order the request parameters came in, who knows what order they are stored in the String[], so it's fairly impossible to correctly pre-select the values. (Actually most browsers seem to submit request parameters in the same order they appear on the form, but I wouldn't want to rely on that.) > while we are on the subject, could you please refer me some further readings > on Indexed Properties and how it could help me in this case? I've never used them, (and I'm not totally sure they'll solve this problem,) so Google to the rescue... http://www.google.com/search?q=struts+indexed+properties -- Wendy Smoak Applications Systems Analyst, Sr. Arizona State University, PA, IRM
