Assigning Values to Drop-Down Lists

Question

I am populating a drop-down list with values of vendor names from my Oracle table. However, I'm assigning the vendor name as the value for each <option> record displayed in the drop-down list. The problem I'm having is that when I select a vendor name from the drop-down list and I view to see which value was selected, I only see a partial vendor name, rather than the full name. For example, If the vendor name that is selected is "Jacks Welding", when I retrieve that selection in my JSP page, the value only comes up as "Jacks" not "Jacks Welding". I want the option value to be the vendor name, not the vendor ID. How can I retrieve the full name from the drop-down list? Below is my code for populating the vendor names.
<select name="vendor">
     <option></option>
<%
queryvendor = "Select Name from AJM.Vendor ORDER BY Name";
Statement st = conn.createStatement();
     ResultSet rs = st.executeQuery(queryvendor);
     while (rs.next()) {
          out.println( "<option value=" + rs.getString("Name") + ">" + rs.getString("Name") + "</optioN>");
     st.close();
     rs.close();
%>
</select>

Answer 1

Have a look at the HTML your code is producing. (Hint: your browser allows you to display the HTML source of a page.) You are producing this:
<option value=Jacks Welding>Jacks Welding</optioN>
This is sloppy HTML, but browsers will do their best with it. Try producing this instead:
<option value="Jacks Welding">Jacks Welding</option>
