<pre lang="xml"><select name="dept" id="dept">
        <s:iterator value="gov_adv_list" var="i" >
            <option value=<s:property value="%{gov_advocate_id}"/>>
           <s:property value="%{name}"/>
            </option>
        </s:iterator>
        </select>

</pre>

<s:submit value="GenerateReport" align="middle"  önclick="reloadGrid(); return false;" class="submit" />

The problem is that on click of submit it only takes the 1st value in dropdown ie. value resets. I want the selected value in dropdown
