dropdown or select menu that really drops down

[Heather Buch <hb...@www.thebuchs.dk>]

Hi,

Is there a struts jsp tag for a select menu that will actually drop down?
Currently, I cannot find a way to make the select menus expand and collapse.
Instead they stay fixed to value of the "size" parameter. Hopefully this makes
sense.

Best,

Heather Buch

Can you site a website that implements the control in the way that you 
are thinking.

The Struts tags do not try to create interactive controls that require a 
client-side technology, like JavaScript. (With the minor exception of 
the Validator messages.) The Struts html tags are simple drop-in 
replacement for the standard HTML tags, that all standard browsers 
understand.

If you are asking about adding entries to a options list, the typical 
solution would be for the user to submit a new item, and then for the 
controller to return an updated collection that includes the new item. 
The select tag will then rewrite itself to the appropriate size.

C'mon, this is a really basic html question.

Do not set the size.

You'd better read some basic html book before try to code jsp and such!
