If you aren't using Struts then
a) why are you asking this question on a Struts mailing list
b) What do you mean then when you write "Now if I have values of day, month,
year executing an action. How can I default those values in the select
box???"

Regards,

Richard

unfortunately we aren't using Struts here... This is an requirement that
comes across all pages -- thinking of making it more generic and Im trying
this...

doing this in JavaScript to begin with? Why don't you use the struts html
tags to display the select boxes and populate the options lists from
collections. You can then set attributes in your form bean and have these
fields be defaulted automatically.

Hi Folks...
One more javascript question...

I have a page that consists of date fields as select boxes... say optionDay,
optionMonth, optionYear... I fill the selectboxes calling a javascript
function... 

Now if I have values of day, month, year executing an action. How can I
default those values in the select box??? I mean how can I make that
particular option 'selected'??? I know we can do that by calling a funtion
on the load event...

But, I don't want to do it that way as my body tag is generic across all
pages... I am trying something like this...


 function generateYear(optionName,defaultValue) {
  var s = document.forms[0].elements[optionName];
  var today = new Date();
  var year = today.getYear();
  document.write('');
  document.write('Year');
  for (var i=(year-4);i   document.write('' + i+'');
  }
  document.write('');
 }

 function generateDay(optionName,defaultValue){
  document.write('');
  document.write('Day');
  for (var i=1;i   document.write('' + i+'');
  }
  document.write('');
 }

 function generateMonth(optionName,defaultValue){
  document.write('');
  document.write('Mon');
  document.write('Jan');
  document.write('Feb');
  document.write('Mar');
  document.write('Apr');
  document.write('May');
  document.write('Jun');
  document.write('Jul');
  document.write('Aug');
  document.write('Sep');
  document.write('Oct');
  document.write('Nov');
  document.write('Dec');
  document.write('');
 }


and in my html...

I say 

  generateMonth("optStartDtMonth",12);
 generateDay("optStartDtDay",05);  
 generateYear("optStartDtYear",2000);


I want to make 12, 05, 2000 selected on the load of the page... how do I do
that???

I am trying doing something like this...
var s = document.forms[0].elements[optionName];
if ( s.options[i].value == defaultValue) { s.options[i].selected = true; 
}

On the click of some thing it works -- if I put the code in the generate
year or month or day, if fails to recognize the form element!!!

Any suggestions appreciated...

Thanks in advance...
-Jacob
