how to send value of a list to a hidden tag?

[Emertana]

I have the following code in my jsp:

<c:forEach var="value" items="${MyList}" varStatus="loop">

         <tr><td><div id="Name1">Here:${value.name}</div></td></tr>
         <s:hidden id="Name" name="Name" value="%{value.name}"/>

the html source is as following:

   <tr><td><div id="Name1">Here:My name is X</div></td></tr>
         <input type="hidden" name="Name" value="" id="Name"/>

As demonstrated the div tag is showing the value.name correctly but the value attribute of hidden tag is empty. I could not find any solution because most of the solutions were not related to list.
I changed it to ${value.name} but ran into this error: "According to TLD or attribute directive in tag file, attribute value does not accept any expressions"

You're mixing the jsp tags with struts tags.
Struts has its own iterator tag, so I would suggest using that.
That's the first thing.

Second, the name part of your hidden field has to map to something in the action, otherwise struts does not know where to pull the value from.
You don't generally set the value field (unless you need a default).
So your name would be "MyList[%{#loop.index}]", or something along those lines.

I do not get you, what do you mean by "MyList[%{#loop.index}]", or something along those lines. would you give me a sample code?

In other words, use Struts the way it was intended.
The whole point behind struts is that the name field of the various input tags references an actual attribute on the action invoked.
So your hidden field names need to reference something, which I presumed was MyList[<index>].
