Re: Dynamic select menu in JSP **sigh**
Not worried.
But something I'm planning for the future should help everyone with API's
jar versions and examples. A little project I'm dreaming up. I'm sure If ask
ask for a show of hand I'll get this project off the ground.
Still I've made progress.
Not sure what's the difference with:
<html:optionsCollection
<html:options
But if I dig I might find out.

I don't know what <html:optionsCollection> is, but for your purposes, I
would use <html:options> backed by a Collection as I mentioned earlier.
