My application is in struts. For a drop down I am using

<html

ptions collection="examiners" property="value"
labelProperty="label" />

While displaying on the jsp, the output on the drop down needs to be
such as this:
jak
abc
lmn
jpp
jal

But when we right-click and view source, I want the values to be different from what is being displayed such as:
jak_1P
abc_4A
lmn_re
jpp_9A
jal_7S

Can anyone please let me know how this can be done using struts <html

ptions>. Thanks in advance.
Luke.

The code you showed us looks OK to me. Are you saying it doesn't work? If "examiners" is a collection of LabelValueBean objects, your code should produce a select box in which the values are different from the labels.

Thanks Merill, I found out what the constructor for labelValuebean meant i.e one is label the other is the value and it resolved my problem.

Lz.

Don't get me started about those stupid light bulbs.
