The Struts-EL is what I'd recommend, which supports exactly what you want to do, unless you're into (Tomcat 5 and the) JSP 2.0 then you'd just do: <option value="${accounts.number}">${accounts.number}</option>
Otherwise I _think_ I've done this nastiness and it worked, but I might have been doing it with plain HTML (non-struts tags): <html:option value="<c:out value="${accounts.number}"/>"><c:out value="${accounts.number}"/></html:option> ._. -----Original Message----- From: Steltner, Joern [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, March 19, 2004 7:28 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: access variable value in html tag Dear, I'm not an expert in Struts and Java. I need some simple help: <html:select property="no_account"> <c:forEach var="accounts" items="${Accounts}" varStatus="status"> <html:option value="????????"><c:out value="${accounts.number}"</html:option> </c:forEach> </html:select> Everything works fine, but at ??????? mark I would like take account.no_account like ${accounts.number}, but it doesn't work. May someone can give me a small note about the right syntax to get the value from accounts.number as text in the quotes. Thanks Regards J.
