Options tag

[Simon Liang <Sl...@verticalnet.com>]

Hi All:

I don't know if i am doing something wrong or not. Either i am really stupid
or i am totally misunderstanding something here - as i have tried for the
last serveral hrs getting options tag to output the 'selected' text in html.

I basically followed the example(subscription.jsp) on this, but couldn't
figure out why it's not outputting 'selected' as the example claims is
working.

<!-----------------------------------------------here is the jsp --> 
<%
  java.util.ArrayList list = new java.util.ArrayList();
  list.add(new com.vns.um.struts.LabelValueBean("English", "en_us"));
  list.add(new com.vns.um.struts.LabelValueBean("British English",
"en_uk"));
  pageContext.setAttribute("languageTypes", list);
%>

<html:form action="/saveProfile"> 
<HR>
  <TR>
    <td><html:text name="userprofileForm" property="uid" size="10"
maxlength="10"/></TD>
    <td><html:text name="userprofileForm" property="password" size="10"
maxlength="10"/></TD>
    <td><html:text name="userprofileForm" property="firstName" size="10"
maxlength="10"/></TD>
  </tr> 
   <tr>
  <html:select name="userprofileForm" property="preferredLanguage" >
            <html:options collection="languageTypes" property="value"
match="en_uk"
                   labelProperty="label"/>
  </html:select> 
  </tr>
</html:form> 

How do i get "en_uk" selected????? Thanks for any help.

Simon

Hi Simon,

suppose you have the following
labels in options:

green
yellow
red

and the corresponding values:

1
2
3

All you have to do is:

                <html:select property="color">
                        <html:options collection="allcolors" property="id"
propertyLabel="name"/>
                </html:select>

where 'color' is an: private int color;
in your ActionForm bean

and 'allcolors' is a collection of beans

so if you want the 'yellow' to be preselected you just set the
'color' property of your form to value 2 before displaying the JSP.

regards,
Philip
