Thanks for your reply, but I guess I forgot to mention that my drop menus work and the info in the collection shows up, but on submit it says that the bean can not be found. I figure its pretty strange since the info is taken from the same bean on form creation. Got any more ideas, I'd love to hear them.
Thanks for your suggestion. Scott >>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 02/11/03 03:43PM >>> I am new to struts but when I used the select with options tag I created 2 equal size vectors (labels, values)....the jsp was <td> <html:select name="incidentForm" property="selectedUnsafe" > <html:options name="incidentForm" property="unsafeValues" labelName="incidentForm" labelProperty="unsafeLabels" /> </html:select></TD> or, in another case I used the iterate tag to create a list: <logic:iterate id="test" name="incidentForm" property="unsafe" type="GeneralForm" > <tr> <td><html:submit property="removeUnsafe" value="Remove" /></td> <td><bean:write name="test" property="desc" filter="false"/></td> <td><html:hidden name="test" property="id" /></td> </tr> </logic:iterate> Don't know if this is the correct way or not; but it worked for me !! -----Original Message----- From: Scott Power [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, February 11, 2003 2:18 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: need Help, I have been struggling for days. (collections andhtml:select) I am trying to do something I have done many times before I have a collection of objects which I want to use in a drop down menu for the user. I have a vector that contains (int ids,Object ) In the object bean I have methods that get/set the values, for example public String getCriteriaName(){.......} In my jsp I have several text fields and I am able to get the values of them in my action bean. This criteria is the only value I am having trouble with. I get a Cannot find bean under name criteriaList. I have done this before with vectors of similar structure and I am really confused. <html:select property="criteriaName"> <html:options collection="criteriaList" property="id" labelProperty="criteriaName"/> </html:select> In my action form bean I make objects and put them in a vector then I request.setAttribute/session.setAttribute depending on scope. All I want to do is to get the string value back from what the user selects. If anybody can Help, it would be great. Thanks in Advance.
