Hi, Josef:
The way I handle it is to have three properties in my action form:
1. priority is the value that will be set in action form when the html for
is submitted.
2. priorityIds is the list of possible values that will be submitted for the
"priority".
3. priorityLabels is the list of Strings that appear in the select.
<struts_html:select name="JobForm" property="priority">
<struts_html:options name="JobForm"
property="priorityIds"
labelName="JobForm"
labelProperty="priorityLabels"/>
</struts_html:select>
Hope this helps.
Chris

Subject: Re: returning the selected value from an <html:select>
That I understand. What I don't understand is how to
do that. How can I reference the value chosen in the
select? The id is tied to the bean.
