Hi,

can you paste the code where you are setting the values to the dropdown

[Ankit Garg]

you can do this

<select name="">
    <option></option>
    <option selected="selected"></option>
    <option></option>
</select>

This way your second option will be selected by default...

Hi,

I am designing Struts application and in JSP i have used <html:form>tag and for form data i used <display:table > tag.

Though my form retreives the values it is not displayed in the jsp page. Instead a "No record found" message is being displayed.

Following is the code for reference:

<display:table id="resultList" name="requestScope.resultList" pagesize="10" >
<display:column titleKey="serialno" property="serialNo"/>
</display:table>

here "resultList" contains my list of data to be displayed, "serialNo" is the property within the "resultList".

Please help ASAP.

Try this

<ajax:displayTag ajaxFlag="true" id="displayTagList" baseUrl="SomePage.jsp">
<display:table name="sessionScope.resultList" pagesize="10" htmlId="pagedDisplayTableId" id="histListDisp" class="displaytag" >

<display:column property="serialNo" title="SL No" />


</display:table>
</ajax:displayTag>
