Right, but do not let purity stand in the way of practicality! I simply don't use the Struts tag when setting dynamic values:
<input type="checkbox" name='"primKey" value="<bean:write name="myBean" property="val" />" /> which works fine.

I have to set the value of the checkbox in the JSP. for this I write <html:checkbox property='"primKey" value="val"/> problem is that the value is dynamic, so I have to use something like value=<%=val%> but this is scripting ... :-( use of bean:write fails to render the checkbox. Do I have any other option. -----Original Message----- From: Carl Walker [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, May 30, 2003 4:42 PM To: Struts Users Mailing List Subject: Re: Checkbox You should use a java.lang.String or java.lang.String[] property if you want to have 'abc' submitted when checkbox 'chk' is checked. If you want 'true' to be sent when 'chk' is checked, then change 'abc' to 'true'.
