For those interested, Ivan Siviero was kind enough to answer my question. Apparently, you preselect a radio button based on the incoming value from the form.
So for set of radio buttons... <html:radio property="propertyname" value="1"> <html:radio property="propertyname" value="2"> you'd preselect the first radio button by having your "getPropertyName()" method in your ActionForm return a "1" by default. So you'd want to set the value that is returned by "getPropertyName()" to "1" at the constructor level and the reset level (I was only doing it in the reset method). ----- Original Message ----- From: "John M.
