Thanks for the explanation Phil,
I managed to transfer the values of the combo to another jsp page.
>2. If you asking how to get all the possible items of a form list

that is one of my requirements i have been working on and have discussed
this on the list too.
If your jsp/Servlet is intercepting a form for processing, prior to

My requirement is close, i guess.. I need to have a combo box which lets the
client select an option. This combo box is filled with values from a table
in the database.
what i am doing now is :
<! create a connection to the database and query it >
<select>
while (rs.next())
{
<option> <%=rs.getString(1)%> </option>
}
</select>
Is this the best way? what if the data in the table changes.. will it auto
refresh ? will it touch the database each time to fill the combo when the
page is loaded?

I would really appreciate it if u tell me more about parsing a form and when
i would do it.
thanks again
Vineet
