I am getting the following error (Attribute best invalid for tag option according to TLD). This works if I don’t have it in the “VALUE” property of the html:option. Anyone have this problem and or answer.

<html:form action=”/menu”>
<html:select property=”homeContext”>
<html:option value=””><bean:message key=”home.context” /></html:option>
<logic:iterate name=”supplierlst” id=”supplier” scope=”request”>
<html:option value=”<bean:write property=”best” name=”supplier”/>”><bean:write property=”supplierName” name=”supplier”/></html:option>
</logic:iterate>

Scott,

It’s likely that you’re using double-quotes in a nested manner, which isn’t really valid. Try this instead:

<html:option value="<bean:write property='best' name='supplier'/>"><bean:write property="supplierName" name="supplier"/></html:option>

Scott,

I tried that before posting but that didn’t work. I was able to make it work with a little more work. Here is what I did.

<html:select property=”homeContext”>
<html:option value=””><bean:message key=”home.context” /></html:option>
<logic:iterate name=”supplierlst” id=”supplier” scope=”request”>
<bean:define id=”supplierValue” ><bean:write property=”best” name=”supplier”/></bean:define>
<html:option value=”<%=supplierValue%>“><bean:write property=”supplierName” name=”supplier”/>(<bean:write property=”best” name=”supplier”/>)</html:option>
</logic:iterate>
</html:select>

But thanks for the ideas.
