Hi,
"Users.options[users.selectedIndex].value" is what you use in Javascript,
the value posted to the servlet is in users
so you need to use
request.getParameter("Users");

In the servlet code I have someting like the following to grab the
selected value in the form
try {
userId =
request.getParameter("Users.options[users.selectedIndex].value");
}
