Accessing the value in option Tag in html using JSTL

Question

Hi,
Following is my code
<select>
<option value="1">one </option>
<option value="2">Two</option>
</select>
Now, if I select two from the option, i need to get the value 2, using JSTL( JSP standard Tag Library).
Can someone help me out.
Thanks

You need to give the "select" component a name to submit under.
<select name="yourChoice">
  <option value="1">one </option>
  <option value="2">Two</option>
</select>When you submit this page, it will submit a parameter like yourChoice=2.
In a servlet you retrieve this with request.getParameter("yourChoice");
In JSTL/EL, you can use the param map: ${param.yourChoice}
