Trying to pass JSP variables into input:select attributes. Help badly needed

Hi, im new to this forum but if have tried everything else and this is driving me a bit crazy. I am desperate for some help and I know this is going to be a realy simple thing its just my mind has gone dead with it.

I have the following :

Code: Select all

     <input:select
       bean="counterGroup"
       name='airlineLogoFlt1'
       attributes="<%= visibleDefaultAttr %>"
       attributesText='id="airlineLogoFlt1"'
       options="<%= airlineLogos %>"
       default="<%= airlineLogoFlt[F] %>"
     />

Where it says name='airlineLogoFlt1', I want to replace the 1 in Flt1 with the value you of either a JSP variable F or a JavaScript variable f I don’t mind which one I have to use but basically I want to change the value of F/f to be able to change the number associated with the Flt.

When I try doing :

Code: Select all

  name='airlineLogoFlt<%= F %>'

I get name="airlineLogoFlt<%= F %>"

I also want to do the same thing where it says attributesText='id="airlineLogoFlt1"' and I am also having trouble here as well.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Ok as soon as i finished the post i had another fo and I managed to do the first part. I guess i just need a bit of a break.

however i am still having problems with the
attributesText='id="airlineLogoFlt1"'
part due to the extra ' and ". These do need to be here but i still need a way of syubstitutig the 1 to be the value of F.

I managed to sort this out by doing,

String q = "\"";

and then substituting the " with q.
