how to get value of html combo box (i.e select) in jsp?

[raf35]

Hello,

I was just wondering how to get value of html combo box in jsp page. My code for combo box is:

<select name="combo" size="1">
<%
List<Project> projects = mgr.getProjects();
for(Project project : projects){
%>
<option value="<%= project.getId()%>"><%= project.getName()%></option>
<%
}
%>
</select>

I thought combo.value might give me the value, but it throws exception.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks.

If its in a form, and you attempting to get the submitted values from another page, then :

request.getParameter("combo);
