Answer to #1)
<html:select property="companySelection"> <html:option value="">Select a company</html:option> <html:options collection="companyList" property="orglevel2id" labelProperty="orglevel2name"/> </html:select> The above sets the "Select a company" as the default. I think if you wanted the default to be set in the collection you would just set it as the first entry when you make the collection. Someone tell me if I am wrong on this one...

I don't want to have to repost a question. I try searching for answers to my questions on the website but it always forwards me to google. Are these emails not cached for searching? Anyway, 2 questions; 1) How do I set a default value in an html:select on an options list? I need the default state to be the one loaded from the struts form. <html:select property="state" size="1" value="<%= userForm.state %>"> <html:options name="allUnitedStates" labelName="allUnitedStates"/> </html:select> 2) I do a query. I put the result in the logic:iterate below. I want to alternate colors. I've seen this before but I couldn't do a search because of the aforementioned problem. Thanks <logic:present name="users"> <logic:iterate name="users" id="aUser" property="users" scope="request"> <tr> <td><bean:write name="aUser" property="userID"/></td> <td><bean:write name="aUser" property="userType"/></td> ..... </tr> </logic:iterate> </logic:present> -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
