Retrieve Data From A Drop Down Menu

[JiaPei Jen]

For example, I have a drop down menu created this way:

<SELECT NAME="age" SIZE="5">
<OPTION VALUE="youth">10-19
<OPTION VALUE="genx">20-29
<OPTION VALUE="nolabel">30-39
<OPTION VALUE="boomers">40-49
</SELECT>

with a submit button.
When use a servlet to get what user's selection of choice from this menu, do I code this way:
String cohort = request.getParameter("age");

Did it work when you tried it?
