Maya- Ahhhh. I understand now. You want a list box, not a drop-down list. Drop-down lists require that one, and only one, item be selected. List boxes allow for zero, one, or more options to be selected.
Check out the "Dropdown box" section of the Struts Wiki: http://wiki.apache.org/struts/StrutsWidgets It explains how to have the <html:select> tag render as a list-box rather than a drop-down list. I've not yet used a list box but I imagine if you set the bean property (that matches the property of the list box) to the empty string (or perhaps even null), no item will be selected when rendered. Hope this helps. -Adam -----Original Message----- From: Maya menon [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, 12 July 2006 07:21 To: Struts Users Mailing List Subject: Re: Tags in struts Adam, Thanks for the suggestion. I checked with our users, they didnt like the idea of inserting a text in the listbox. They see it as confusing. So, ideally my users lik to have listboxes with No values selected... Any idea how it can be achieved ? Thanks.
