The only comment I have, the difference between your debug stuff and the <html:select> tag is you missed out the "name" attribute on the <html:select> tag . Also, on the <html:options> tag if you use the "collection" attribute then the "name" attribute is not used - its not an issue, but you just don't need it. Try <bean:define id="eList" name="ShopWorkOrderFormBean" property="engineerList"/> <html:select name="ShopWorkOrderFormBean" property="shopWorkOrder.engineerId" > <html:options collection="eList" property="userId" labelProperty="commonName"/> </html:select> Niall ----- Original Message ----- From: "Au-Yeung, Stella H" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Friday, March 12, 2004 3:31 PM Subject: Someone out there must have done this with Struts 1.0 > 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".
