Re: selecting a value from drop down list

[Mark Lowe]

umm.. ehhh

perhaps

<option value="">

could be why you get no value (in fact i suspect thats it).. The 
parameter will be whatever is in the value attribute, if you leave the 
value attribute out then it will default to the display string 
presented between the option tags..

Assuming you are using Struts to process the form submission,
once the user selects a value from the drop down list and submits
the form to be processed, the action which you have configured to
handle this form submission, will have access to the selected value
via the form configured to store the posted request information.
Once inside your action you would do something like the following:
MyForm myForm = (MyForm) form;
String sName = myForm.getSname();
// update database with sName value

Hi,

I have a drop down list in my jsp page the code is shown below

<td width="100"><b>Name</b></td>
<td>
        <select name="sName" style="width:225px">
        <logic:iterate id="results" name="sNameSetup"
property="nameList"
scope="session">
                <option value=""><bean:write name="results"
property ="sName"
/></option>
        </logic:iterate>
        </select>
</td>
When I run this jsp page it displays a list of all names in a
drop down list
on the jsp page.
What i want to do is

User will select one of the names from the above select drop down
list and i
want to get that value from the jsp page and store it into the 
database.

how should i get that value from the jsp page

Please help me

Regards

Kamal
