Assuming you want a specific drop-down list selected when
you open your jsp passing in some parameter to pre-select it
you'd write something like:
<select name="myList">
<option value="v1" <%= ( (request.getParameter("myList")).equals("v1") ? "SELECTED"
: "" ) %>>
<option value="v2" <%= ( (request.getParameter("myList")).equals("v2") ? "SELECTED"
: "" ) %>>
</select>
If you have a multi-valued list box, you might consider using JSP code to
dynamically create a JavaScript function body that sets the values in
your list box and then calling that function on the onLoad event for
your page.
