How about something like this old code ( sorry this was done in ASP but
u could easily do it in JSP as well):

Response.Write "<TR><TD valign='top'><font face='Arial, Helvetica,
sans-serif' size=2>Entry Type</TD><td><input type=text size=3
name=uEntrytext id=uEntrytext value='" & rstLog.Fields("ENTRYTYPE") &
"' ><INPUT type='button' value='Entry' id=uDisplayList name=uDisplayList
onClick='DisplayList()' ><Select name=uEntryType id=uEntryType
onclick='EntrySelected()' style='display:none'>"
     x = 0
     Do while x < count
       Response.Write "<option value='" & entrytype(x)
       if entrytype(x) = trim(rstLog.Fields("ENTRYTYPE")) then
          Response.Write "' SELECTED>" & entrytype(x) & "</option>"
       else
          Response.Write "'>" & entrytype(x) & "</option>"
       end if
       x = x + 1
     Loop
    --------------
- -
---
%>
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE=javascript>
<!--
function EntrySelected()
{
fLogUpdate.uEntrytext.value =
fLogUpdate.uEntryType.options[fLogUpdate.uEntryType.selectedIndex].value;
fLogUpdate.uEntryType.style.display = "none";
fLogUpdate.uDisplayList.style.display = "";
}

function DisplayList()
{
fLogUpdate.uEntryType.style.display = "";
fLogUpdate.uDisplayList.style.display = "none";
}
//-->
</SCRIPT>


</BODY>
</HTML>
