You don't have to do the iteration, and since you're familiar with JSTL, the Struts-EL tags are probably what you want. Here's an example that shows a select list of months, which are stored in a Map: <html-el:select property="calendarMonth"> <html-el:options collection="months" property="key" labelProperty="value"/> </html-el:select> Putting the form bean in session scope neatly solves the blank-form-on-validation-error. It looks like you've done that, but by not using the Struts tags, you're not giving the framework a chance to populate the form. -- Wendy Smoak Application Systems Analyst, Sr. ASU IA Information Resources Management --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
