How to preselect a value in drop down ?

[Rite Sara]

Hi ..

I am using Struts 1.3 and using following code to display drop down in one tab on my page ..

        <html:select property="acctId" styleId="acctId" style="width:180px">
                 <html:option value="0">--None--</html:option>
	<html:options collection="acctList" labelProperty="value" property="id" />
        </html:select>

There is one more such drop down on home page.
If user selects an option on home page and navigates to this tab then the same value should be preselected in this drop down ..

Please let me know how this can be handled ..

write a JavaScript method and call it onload. get options and iterate through them. Set option.selected=true whichever you want.

You can also use the value attribute of html:select tag to preselect any option...
