Setting Name and ID inside loop

[Joe Brigs]

I have a Array thats populated from a Database, can be 1 to many occurrences. I want to use it to populate a dropdown box , it wil be the "Selected" value thats seen on the screen, but its an update screen so user can change from 3 other options. How do I set the name and id to be diffrent for each occurrence, so I can use name in servlet to do DB update. The last code I tried ==> name="'upsLoc1'+j" obviously didn't work. I'm sure its simple , but I'm blind. Thanks for help

<table id="upsCustIdTable" cellspacing="0" border="0"> 							
<tr> 							
<% for (int j = 0; j < addrTxArray.size(); j++) {	%>						
<td> 
<select name="'upsLoc1'+j" id="'upsLoc1'+j" class="upsDropDown"> 
<option value="<%=addrTxArray.get(j).trim()%>" selected="selected" ><%=addrTxArray.get(j).trim()%></option>
<option value="C1">C1</option>
<option value="C2">C2</option>
<option value="C3">C3</option>
</select> 
</td> 
<% }	 %>   <!--  End of Loop -->	
</tr> 
</table>

I haven't used scriptlets for years, but if your organization is still mired in the past and is stuck using them, wouldn't that just be
name="upsLoc1<%=j%>"

Paul, Thanks that was correct very obvious I should have known that. And yes were still using scriplets. I started using JSTL tags but my mentor prefers scriplets and this is my 1st Java Project. Thanks again

Does he also prefer stone knives and bear skins? He's mired 10 years in the past. Be aware of this and don't let it deter your own advancement.
