Okay I see what you are trying to do. Here is a suggestion from the top of my head:
Create a new action class which uses the same form as the Action in question (populateDataSourceAction or something...). Use this class to load the data from the DB into the blockDataSource field in the form. Put the form in the request space like this in the Action: aRequest.setAttribute(anActionMapping.getName(), myActionForm) then forward it to the JSP page. Do not do any funky javascript stuff (onLoad etc etc) It should work without it!! --Amit -----Original Message----- From: atta-ur rehman [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, July 21, 2003 1:52 PM To: Struts Users Mailing List Subject: Re: A column consisting of html:select widgets okay, here goes my JSP code: REPATE FOR ALL THE BLOCKS <html:select property="blockDataSource" style="WIDTH: 110px; font-size: 8pt" onchange="blockDataSourceChanged();"> <html:options collection="blockDataSourceList" property="value" labelProperty="label"/> </html:select> END REPEAT The "blockDataSourceList" is an ArrayList of LabelValueBean class and is in the session scope. On the page load, I'm setting Form.setBlockDataSource(String[]) to appropriate string array represneting the saved value for the row. My dropdowns always show the first option selected. Thanks for the help.
