try using html:options instead..and supply it with the collection or array of indexes...
because if in html:select u specify property attribute, and the property is there in the request(which should be the case when u forward the request back to same jsp with errors..),the same is used to preselect a element. I think may be as u are using html:ootion in a loop, u are having this problem. regards, Shirish -----Original Message----- From: david.heagney [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, December 12, 2002 1:17 PM To: struts-user; david.heagney Subject: dropdowns being reset Hi, I have a page in my STRUTS app which dynamically populates a dropdown list: Month <html:select property="fromMonth"> <option value="--">-- <% for (int i=1; i <= 12; i++) { %> <option value="<%= i %>"><%= getMonthName (i) %> <% } %> </html:select> getMonthName() returns the month as a string based in the passed integer, 1 - 12. If the user submits the form and leaves out a required field, the above dropdown gets re-set, i.e. doesn't retain the selection when the page is refreshed with it's errors... does anyone know how i can avoid this?
