The options tag

In this section, you will learn about the options tag of Spring form tag library.

The options tag renders a list of HTML 'option' tags. It sets the 'selected' attribute on the appropriate option based on the bound value.

Sample code is shown below :

<tr>
	<td>Country:</td>
	<td>
		<form:select path="country">
			<form:option value="-" label="--Please Select"/>
			<form:options items="${countryList}" itemValue="code" itemLabel="name"/>
		</form:select>
	</td>
</tr>

This will render the following HTML :

<tr>
	<td>State:</td>
	<td>
	<select name="state">
		<option value="-" >--Please Select</option>
		<option value="UP">Uttar Pradesh</option>
		<option value="MP">Madhya Pradesh</option>
		<option value="AP">Arunachal Pradesh</option>
		<option value="HP">Himachal Pradesh</option>
	</select>
	</td>
</tr>
