Position a JSTL SELECT combobox to a specific row.

Question

I have two comboboxes. Each displays the same list of challenge questions. How do I position the second combobox on the second row of the combo box?
<td>
<% HashMap tempMap = ChallengeJspService.getAllChallengeQuestions();
pageContext.setAttribute("tempMap", tempMap); %>
<SELECT NAME="QUESTION1" tabindex="1" align="left">
<c:forEach var="entry" items="${tempMap}">
<OPTION VALUE='<c:out value="${entry.key}"/>'><c:out value="${entry.value}"/></OPTION >
</c:forEach>
</SELECT>
</td>
<% tempMap = ChallengeJspService.getAllChallengeQuestions();
pageContext.setAttribute("tempMap", tempMap); %>
<td>
<SELECT NAME="QUESTION2" tabindex="1" align="left">
<c:forEach var="entry" items="${tempMap}">
<OPTION VALUE='<c:out value="${entry.key}"/>'><c:out value="${entry.value}"/></OPTION >
</c:forEach>
</SELECT>
</td>

Answer 1

How about a <c:if> or <c:choose> to check for a condition then? You'll have to work out the kinks, I've not had much experience with JSTL!
    <c:forEach var="entry" items="${tempMap}">
    <c:choose>
          <c:when test="${condition == 'whatever' }">
            <c:set var="makeSelected" value="selected" /t>
          </c:when>
          <c:otherwise>
            <c:set var="makeSelected" value=""/>
          <c:when>
    </c:choose>
         <OPTION <c:out value="${makeSelected}"/> VALUE='<c:out value="${entry.key}"/>'><c:out value="${entry.value}"/></OPTION >
    </c:forEach>Edited by: nogoodatcoding on Oct 1, 2007 10:04 PM
