Has someone out there successfully set the "selected" option of a <html:select> under Struts 1.0?
What I try to do is to set the option as "selected" when "userId" matches "shopWorkOrder.engineerId": <bean:define id="eList" name="ShopWorkOrderFormBean" property="engineerList"/> <html:select property="shopWorkOrder.engineerId" > <html:options collection="eList" name="ShopWorkOrderFormBean" property="userId" labelproperty="commonName"/> </html:select> I tried the following two things based on all your input but still can't get it working: Using optionsCollection -----> 1) The following gave a compilation error claiming doesn't recognize "optionsCollection". I think this is a Struts 1.0 problem. > <bean:define id="eList" name="ShopWorkOrderFormBean" property="engineerList"/> > <html:select property="shopWorkOrder.engineerId"> > <html:optionsCollection name="eList" value="userId" label="commonName"/> > </html:select> Using value"<%=...%>" -----> 2) The following also gave a compilation error that it doesn't like value"<%=...%>" > <bean:define id="eList" name="ShopWorkOrderFormBean" property="engineerList"/> > <html:select property="shopWorkOrder.engineerId" value="<%=shopWorkOrder.engineerId%>"> > <html:options collection="eList" name="ShopWorkOrderFormBean" property="userId" labelproperty="commonName"/> > </html:select> I use debug statements inside the JSP to make sure there is a matching userId: > Eng id:<bean:write name="ShopWorkOrderFormBean" property="shopWorkOrder.engineerId"/><br> > <bean:define id="engrList" name="ShopWorkOrderFormBean" property="engineerList"/> > <logic:iterate id="element" name="engrList"> > Label:<bean:write name="element" property="commonName"/> > Value:<bean:write name="element" property="userId"/><br><br> > </logic:iterate> > > Here's the output from the above debug: > Eng id:8 > Label:JOE ENGINEER XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXL Value:3 > Label:VERLINDA BROOME Value:NZW32M > Label:FRANK WHITON Value:NZ7Z1Q > Label:Another Active Engineer Value:8 Setting the "selected" in a <html:select> is a very basic operation. I can't see that being a bug in Struts 1.0. But somehow it doesn't work. Has anyone done it successfully before??? --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
