html:option tag in STRUTS

How can I put a "selected" attribute in the <html:option> tag in STRUTS? In regular HTML, I can say:
<select name="test">
<option name="opt1" selected>Option 1</option>
</selected>
But I can't use the "selected" key word in the STRUTS tag:
<html:select property="myList">
<logic:equal name="myListElement" value="Hello World">
<html:option value="opt1" selected>Option 1</html:option>
</logic:equal>
<logic:notEqual name="myListElement" value="Hello World">
<html:option value="other opts">Other opts</html:option>
</logic:notEqual>
</html:select>
How can I get the following to work?
Thanks,
Dylan

Problem with html:select or html:options tags using struts,jsp and tomcat

Hi
I'm updating a Struts-Project to a new layout and therefore rework all jsp Sites.
I'm also using a new Folder-Structure and update therefore my struts-config file.
My Problem now is:
Till now, we had a select-field with a code like this:
< html:form action="/timetableAction" method="POST">
< table width="53%" border="0">
< tr>
< td>< html:radio property="dauer" value="semester"
/></ td>
< html:select property="semester" size="1">
< htmlptions name="semesterList" />
</ html:select>
</ html:form>
The problem now is, that whenever I use any <html:xy> tag, the tomcat server I use can not show the page, he shows just the headers of the template, but not the
content.-jsp-File where the form would be in. He stops right in the middle of the html page, when he notices the <html:xy> tags.
And the funny thing is, that he has no problem to show a page when there is a <html:errors> within it? Why could this be? the struts-html.tld File is well included and teh Tomcat Server shows no exceptions.
Waiting for you answers and thanks

Thank you, I already got the answer in another forum

Passing values to action form in struts using html:link tag in struts

hi
As we can post values to action form bean in struts using a <html:text> tag in side a form.
Can the same be achieved by using a html:link attribute.
If not then how can this be achieved (i.e. posting a form on click of a link and populating action form bean property for the same).
thanx in advance.

html:option tag with jbo:RowSetIterate

Hi
I am trying to build a list box using the following code.
<html:select property="providerTypeId">
<html:option value=""> </html:option>
<jbo:RowsetIterate datasource="PModule.ProviderTypeLuVO">
<html:option value="<jbo:ShowValue datasource='PModule.ProviderTypeLuVO' dataitem='ProviderTypeId' />"> <jbo:ShowValue datasource="PModule.ProviderTypeLuVO" dataitem="ProviderType" />-<jbo:ShowValue datasource="PModule.ProviderTypeLuVO" dataitem="ProviderTypeDesc" /> </html:option>
</jbo:RowsetIterate>
</html:select>
-- The list box builds like this
<option value="<jbo:ShowValue datasource="P.ProviderTypeLuVO" dataitem="ProviderTypeId" />">10-PHYSICIAN, M.D</option>
The value is not retrieved from the ShowValue tag.
Can some one help on this issue.
Thanks

Do you have the taglib correct at the top of the page ?
i.e.
<%@ taglib uri="/webapp/DataTags.tld" prefix="jbo" %>
Rather than the ShowValue tag I tend to use the Row tag to have the row as an object on which I can call the getAttribute method to then populate the combo / list box.
e.g.
<select name="recallPriorityCode">
<option value="">
</option>
<jbo:RowsetIterate datasource="spds">
<jbo:Row id="sprow" datasource="spds" action="Current" />
<%
String priorityCode = sprow.getAttribute("PriorityCode").toString();
String priorityDescription = sprow.getAttribute("PriorityDescription").toString();
%>
<option value="<%= priorityCode %>">
<%= priorityDescription %>
</option>
</jbo:RowsetIterate>
</select>
Hope this helps.

Needed help........ html:option problem

hi all,
i need to get the selected value from the option element.how can i get it?
what is the type expresiion in tha value field.....
this code is not working at all. i am getting the entire string inside the quotes...as selected value...what i want...is vale of that expression in quotes...
="<bean:write name="currency" property="key"/>"//// anyone knoe?
<html:select name="currency"
property="currencyCode">
<logic:iterate id="currency" name="currencyList">
<html:option value="<bean:write name="currency" property="key"/>"><bean:write name="currency" property="key"/> <SELECTED></html:option>
</logic:iterate> </html:select>

You can never use tags as attributes for other tags. Only strings, and expressions.
What you seem to want is this:
<html:select property="currencyCode">
<html:options collection="currencyList" property="key"
</html:select>
I would recommend you check out the html:options tag
http://struts.apache.org/userGuide/struts-html.html#options
It takes a collection of items and generates multiple options for you.
It also deals with selecting the correct value for you.

Query on struts html:optionsCollection tag !

Hi,
I've a query on struts <html:optionsCollection tag. I'm trying to render the values of an arraylist using the optionsCollection . The arraylist is stored as a part of form object. But the issue is that each row of arraylist contains a string data. The arraylist is returned by a remote process.Now, when I use the following struts code,
<html:select property="userProxy" size="1" >
<html:optionsCollection property="userProxy" value="" label=""/>
</html:select>
what shud be the value for value and label , as the arraylist contains only one string per row . The userProxy is the arraylist field defined in the form object.
My question, will I be able to use the <html:optionsCollection tag in this scenerio ?
I'll really appreciate if someone can get back to me on this.
Thnx

The html:optionsCollection tag is designed to work with a collection of beans, each with a "label" and "value" attribute.
If you only have a list of strings, then you probably want to use the html:options tag.
Note that your ActionForm should have two attributes
// form bean"
String userProxy; //stores the currently selected userProxy
List userProxyList; //list of userProxies.
// assume appropriate get/set methods
// the jsp page:
<html:select property="userProxy" size="1" >
<html:options property="userProxyList"/>
</html:select>Cheers,

Jsf equivelent of struts html:base tag

I'm having an issue with the myfaces panelNavigation component. I'm including it in a series of pages with subview & jsp:include tags. It's working great with one exception. If I browse to a document one directory deeper than the "home" page, and then click the "home" link taking me back to the parent directory, the external css sheet doesn't load. All of my links and text are there, but not styled at all. If I click the link again, every thing loads fine.
I remember the <html:base> tag from struts and I tried using it on the home page. However, the page refused to load and the server did not throw a stack trace (even though the logging is set to FINE).
I'm wondering if anyone else has experienced a similar issue and if there is an equivelent tag in JSF to solve this problem.
Thanks!

thanks for you answer.
but when i use the <html:base/> tag, everybody can see my internal structure when viewing the source code of the generated html in browser.
i think i haven't understood the base tag (and have never used it).
could somebody tell me how to use this tag correctly ? (html or struts version)
actually my problem is, i used to define a variable at the top of every jsp page like this :
<%! String conPath ; %>
<% conPath = request.getContextPath();%>
then,
<a href="<%= conPath%>/some/link">Some Text</a> or <img src="<%=conPath%>/image/bottom.jpg">, is there a better way without using java code in jsp ? because when the context root changes some day, i have to change all jsp pages.
can the <base> tag be helpful here ? how ?
yawmark,
when i put all my jsp files under WEB-INF, do i have to change something in struts-config.xml ?
thanks in advance

Select-Option tags in HTML

I used Select-option tag in HTML. Suppose name of the Select tag is 'abc'. what is the property of 'abc' object to get it's value in JavaScript.

// This will return the value for the Selected item
if(document.forms[0].abc.selectedIndex!=-1){
alert(document.forms[0].abc[document.forms[0].abc.selectedIndex].value);

How to use form name in struts html:form tag

Hi,
I want to validate text box value, if it is ordinary html form I would have done like this <form name="myform" action="xxxx.jsp" onsubmit="return validate()">
But am using struts html:form tags. In this case how can I use/specify name for a form.
Can any one help me.
Thanks

The name of the form comes from the actionForm you have defined backing it.
View source on the generated page to see what HTML it constructs.
You are able to use the onsubmit event with the <html:form> tag just like the standard one, so if all you want to do is that:
<html:form action="/saveUser" onsubmit="return validate()">
...You can also give it a styleId, which will generate an id in the HTML.
See the tag documentation for details: http://struts.apache.org/1.2.x/userGuide/struts-html.html#form

Struts html:iterate tag

Hello all,
Does anyone know if the struts html:iterate tag can be used to iterate through an ArrayList? Can you populate a html:radio tag with such an iterator?
If anyone has code examples of these, they would be MOST appreciated!
Thank you!

I have an ArrayList object that contains a collection of Listing objects.
The Listing object has two methods getID, getName
In the ActionForm there is a variable listingData of List type. How can I use the logic:iterate tag to traverse the ArrayList object and display the id and name of the ListingObjects?
What has to be added in the logic:iterate tag below?
<table>
<logic:iterate id="listingForm" name="listingForm" property="listingData">
<tr>
<td>
// Here I want to output the value of ids
</td>
<td>
// Here I want to output the value of names
</tr>
</logic:iterate>
</table>Do I need a nested logic:iterate tag?
Should the ArrayList be populated with a J2SE class rather than a business object, i.e. the Listing class?

Unable to Load struts-html-el Tags

Hello, I downloaded the struts-html-el-1.2.8.tld and dropped it in my Elipse workspace under the WebContent/WEB-INF/tld directory where other struts-html.tld, struts-logic.tld, etc. are.
In my JSP, I have
<%@ taglib uri="http://struts.apache.org/tags-html-el" prefix="html-el"%>where http://struts.apache.org/tags-html-el is what is given in the struts-html-el-1.2.8.tld.
Then, I used <html-el:form ...> <html-el:checkbox ...> <html-el:hidden ...> in my JSP. But, I got runtime error: "Unable to load tag handler class org.apache.strutsel.taglib.html.ELFormTag"
What should I do?

Where do I find the JAR for the html-el? I could not find it from the Struts framework download.
What is the URL for tht JAR? Thanks in advance.
