combo box in JSP 1

[tvrtko]

I made the class that makes a combo box in JSP page.
Please tell me how to send selected entry as a request parameter and how to get it in servlet.

Thanks

Class looks like this:

public class MyClass {

public MyClass () {
}

public StringBuffer getSomething(String styleClass) {
StringBuffer tmp = new StringBuffer();
tmp.append( &quot;<SELECT SIZE=1 class=&quot; + &quot; &quot; + styleClass + &quot; &quot; + &quot; style='WIDTH:136px'>&quot; );
tmp.append(&quot;<OPTION>first</OPTION>&quot;
tmp.append(&quot;<OPTION>second</OPTION>&quot;
tmp.append(&quot;</SELECT>&quot;
return( tmp );
}
}

and JSP page:
<% MyClass myClass = new MyClass();%>
<%= myClass.getSomething(comboStyle) %>

I'm new in this, so please help

Hi,

I hope I did understand your question correctly.
Why dont you pass the name value to your select box along with style and ArrayList too to populate the select box values.

So in the servlet you can get the name value pair of the select box.

getSomeThing(String name, List list, String style)

Cheers,
Venu
