You didn't mention which version of Struts you are using. Suppose your select tag looks like this

<s:select label="Category"
       name="category"
       list="catList"
/>

Now if your action looks like this (Struts 2)

public class MyAction  extends ActionSupport {
    String category;
    Map<String,String> catList;
    //getter and setter methods
}

Now it will work, the select box will be rendered using the catList list, then if you submit the page, the selected value will go into the category named String. And then when the page will be generated again, the option whose value matches the value of category string, that value will be selected. Remember that you can define a different property to preselect a value using the value attribute of the select tag...

Hi Ankit,

Thanks for your suggestions. Sending you my code.

<select name="partnerName" id="_partnernameList" onchange="fselectedValue(this);">
						<option value="0" selected="selected">Select Partner Name </option>
						<logic:notEmpty name="partnerEditControlForm" property="partnerList">
							<logic:iterate id="partner" name="partnerEditControlForm" property="partnerList">
								<option value='<bean:write name="partner" property="value"/>'>
									<bean:write name="partner" property="displayString"/>
								</option >
						</logic:iterate>
						</logic:notEmpty>				
</select>
   

hope now you can suggest me more appropriate.
