Hi everybody,

I'd like to know how to highlight the first element of a select when I use a htnl ptions collection such as:

<html:select property="deviceList" size="6">
<html ptions collection="devices" property="name" labelProperty="name"/>
</html:select>

If i don't select any option, I have null in the Form.

Thanks in advance,

David

David,
The easiest way is to set the form value to the first value. If you don't want to do that, you can use javascript to select it once the page is rendered.

It doesn't have to be highlighted to be submitted with the form. If you have a problem with the ActionForm holding null on submission, there is something else going wrong.
