select tag woes

[Martin Smith]

Hi there,

I have the following code in my jsp...


      <td>
                <html:select name="homeTeam" property="teamId" >
                        <html:options collection="teamVOs" property="teamId"
labelProperty="description"/>
                </html:select>
        </td>
        <td>
                <html:select name="awayTeam" property="teamId" >
                        <html:options collection="teamVOs" property="teamId"
labelProperty="description"/>
                </html:select>
        </td>

The problem is that both the bean homeTeam and awayTeam have the property
teamId
which results in the following HTML...

<td>
        <select name="teamId"><option value="3">Arsenal</option>
        <option value="6">Aston Villa</option>
        <option value="19">Middlesborough</option>
        <option value="11" selected="selected">Newcastle United</option>
        <option value="7">Porstmouth</option>
</td>
<td>
        <select name="teamId"><option value="3">Arsenal</option>
        <option value="16">Manchester City</option>
        <option value="2" selected="selected">Manchester United</option>
        <option value="19">Middlesborough</option>
        <option value="11">Newcastle United</option>
</td>

THE PROBLEM

As you can see both the name attributes have the value teamId, which of
course is a problem.

Is there a better solution but still using the html tags, rather that
building up the select elements manualy??

Maybe by using the html-el tags???

Thanks,

Martin
