Hi, It works now.
It was just that the value was in double quotes and as its a string it already has double quotes So i changed the option value from <option value="<bean:write name="results" property ="pnDescription" />"><bean:write name="results" property ="pnDescription" /> to <option value=<bean:write name="results" property ="pnDescription" />><bean:write name="results" property ="pnDescription" /></option> Thanks Mark and Robert Regards Kamal Gupta -----Original Message----- From: Mark Lowe [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 05 January 2004 16:23 To: Struts Users Mailing List Subject: Re: selecting a value from drop down list 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..
