Hi I eventually ended up using the logic:iterate tag and it worked ,thx
For anyone who faced similar error ,my code was <html:select property="availableList" size="18" multiple="true"> <logic:iterate id="categoryAvailableList" name="availableFieldList"> <option value=<bean:write name="categoryAvailableList" property="lookupType" />><bean:write name="categoryAvailableList" property="lookupTypeLabel" /> </option> <logic:present name="categoryAvailableList" property="admStuLookupMasterVO"> <logic:iterate id="subcategoryAvailableList" name="categoryAvailableList" property = "admStuLookupMasterVO"> <option value=<bean:write name="subcategoryAvailableList" property="lookupType" />|<bean:write name="subcategoryAvailableList" property="lookupCode" />>...<bean:write name="subcategoryAvailableList" property="lookupDesc" /> </option> </logic:iterate> </logic:present> </logic:iterate> </html:select> thxx everybody Mandeep -----Original Message----- From: Michael D.

This is probably the best since it is the clearest as to what you are doing, plus you can create the empty spaces more easily. -- Michael D.
