I have an JSP page, submit on itself, and a select control on it. My problem is how to get select control's display string, not it's value.<br />

<pre><code id="code-309206">&lt;body&gt;
   &lt;%
      // Get myList display string (One, Two, or Three). How?
      String selectedValue = request.getParameter(&quot;myList&quot;);
      // String selectedString = request.getWhat? 
   
      out.println(selectedValue );
      out.println(selectedString );
   %&gt;
 
   &lt;select name=&quot;myList&quot; id=&quot;myList&quot;&gt;
      &lt;option value=&quot;1&quot;&gt;One&lt;/option&gt;
      &lt;option value=&quot;2&quot;&gt;Two&lt;/option&gt;
      &lt;option value=&quot;2&quot;&gt;Three&lt;/option&gt;

How to get display string in a select control

JavaServer Pages (JSP) allow the development of dynamically generated web pages. It uses the Java programming language; JSP pages are translated into servlets at runtime, with each servlet being cached and reused until the JSP is modified. JSP allows Java code to be interleaved with static web markup content, so the resulting page can be compiled and executed on the server to deliver the content.

Web applications are systems that run in browsers that perform functions normally associated with other client-based programs. One of the most commonly used web applications is email; instead of downloading individual emails to a local machine, the data is shown through a website. Other examples of web applications are collaborative systems like a wiki or an online game.
