Hi: Here is an example. <html:select property="codeTypeSysNum" onchange="jump()"> <html:option value=""><bean:message key="indexPage.selectCodeTypePrompt"/></html:option> <html:options collection="codeTypeCo" property="codeTypeSysNum" labelProperty="codeTypeDesc" /> </html:select>
the property in <html:select> is the filed in the action form. If you use <html:options>, it's very convenience, the collection is the collection you hold data getted from DB, the property is the data field of a bean in the collection, not the same as property in the <html:select> tag. This is the value of the option. The labelProperty is the text showen in the jsp page. or you can see here: http://struts.apache.org/userGuide/struts-html.html Gao Yewei ________________________________ hello, i am new to struts, i would like to know to use <html:select> to dynamically populate data in the combo box, for the database.
