First, "pls" is not a
word in the English language.
See:
http://faq.javaranch.com/view?UseRealWords to find out why using real words is important to us.
Adding the "selected" attribute to your option tag will cause it to be drawn on the page as selected.
The logic:iterate tag is a
Struts tag isn't it?
If so, I believe there is a Struts specific way to build select lists.
Moving to our Struts forum where someone will be able to explain how to use those tags better than we could.
