Have you considered using <html:options> or <html:optionsCollection> here? You shouldn't have to do the iteration or write out the <option> tags yourself. > now i want to populate property "name" in the item bean(which should not be > shown on the screen.it should be a hidden field) > > when the user clicks on the item name on the dropdown item beans "code" is > populating.now i need to populate "name" aswell at the sametime using hidden > property. Do you really? You're the one who provided the codes and names for the drop-down, so you must know what they are... when the form is submitted, simply use the 'code' to look up the 'name' from the same place. I typically keep Maps in Application or Session scope, and use them to populate select lists across the app (or for a particular user.) -- Wendy --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
