You need to populate the value of the property of the dropdown before the
jsp is render...the best way to do this is in the action class.
For example, you have getter and setter for State in the form bean...now you
need to setState("TX") in the action class if you want to have Texas as a
default state.

You can add in an <html:option> tag above the <html:options> tag that
will be the default.

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.
It doesn't like this.
<html:select property="state" size="1" value="<%= state in ActionForm
%>">
<html:options name="allUnitedStates" labelName="allUnitedStates"/>
</html:select>
thanks everyone,
Mike
