Looks like you are doing the same thing I am just in a slightly different manner. I prepopulate default values for my action form in my action class, including an ArrayList named statusList to hold dropdown values, rather than using a separate request attribute..that being the only difference that I can see.
My statusList ArrayList hold an array of a simple "Status" class that defines an "id" and "value" attribute. One of my action form attributes is "statusId" and is the value I prepopulate in my action calss and wish to be selected when my form is displayed. The object 'assocatedSalespeople" that your html:option collection param is referring to is supposed to be a jsp scripting variable...I'm assuming you've set this elsewhere in your jsp's code? --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
