editing a form

[Anna Kerekes <An...@onx.com>]

Hello,
 
The user wishes to edit a message that was previously created.  In my edit.jsp I wish to display a dropdown
with the option that was previously selected as "selected".  Currently I have:
 
<html:select property="expiryDay">

        <html:options collection="days" property="idValue"  labelProperty="displayValue" />

</html:select>

I want the value of expiryDay from the database to be selected (by default) on the dropdown.  The user can select another option from the dropdown if they want to change it...

how do i do it in struts?

any help appreciated,

Anna

In the Action code, set the 'expiryDay' property of the form bean.  Then
forward to the JSP and the framework will automatically pre-select the
matching value.

Search the archives for 'prepopulate form' and you should find many posts
discussing this.
