dynamic drop down list
I am trying to create a drop down list to do some record sorting. This is my code (I am a vb developer that has had to do some java customization so please forgive my crappy code - all i care is that it works.) The drop down needs to display the current sort.
<div align="right">
<table>
<tr>
<td class="textNormal">
Sorted By: <form action="ChangeSorting.jsp?recordView=<jsp:getProperty name='CumulusBean' property='recordView'/>" id="changeSortingForm" target="invisibleFrame" method="POST">
<td>
<select name="uid" size="1" onChange="document.getElementById('changeSortingForm').submit();">
<%if (session.getAttribute( "theUid" ).equals (null)) {
strCheck = ("selected");
}%>
<option value="">
UnSorted</option>
<%if (session.getAttribute( "theUid" ).equals ("{1e58eab1-f625-4d6b-be82-ef0ea493cb7a}")) {
strCheck = ("selected");
}%>
<option value="{1e58eab1-f625-4d6b-be82-ef0ea493cb7a}" ><%=strCheck%> >
Asset Format</option>
<%if (session.getAttribute( "theUid" ).equals ("{af4b2e43-5f6a-11d2-8f20-0000c0e166dc}")) {
strCheck = ("selected");
} %>
<option value="{af4b2e43-5f6a-11d2-8f20-0000c0e166dc}" ><%//=strCheck%>>
Title</option>
<%if (session.getAttribute( "theUid" ).equals ("{a1fb6bfc-8d0d-4ba1-ba6c-9f85364f8050}")) {
strCheck = ("selected");
} %>
<option value="{a1fb6bfc-8d0d-4ba1-ba6c-9f85364f8050}" ><%=strCheck%>>

<%if (session.getAttribute( "theUid" ).equals ("{d772f661-9242-11d5-b58c-0050baeba6c7}")) {

</form>

</tr>
</table>
</div>
This does work if the page is already loaded however you get an erro if you try and load the page.
I don't see why...
Any help would be appreciated.
