<FORM><SELECT name="UType">
      <OPTION value="Provider">Chamberlain Provider</OPTION>
      <OPTION value="Intern">Chamberlain User</OPTION>
</SELECT></FORM>

*When in the Utype is selected Provider I need to display:

mmartha,
I'd like to make a suggestion, it's just my personal opinion that having multiple forms on 1 jsp page is a bad practice, because it makes it more complex. I have bad personal experience having multiple stuffs on one jsp page, it gives me headache when later on my supervisor wants me to add stuffs/functionality into that page. I would break that form down into 3 jsp pages, so in the long run, it will be easier to manage them. Again, this is just my personal opinion.
