In this example, the SELECT will be populated from id=year attribute. Counter is itself an Iterator. It will span from first to last. The population is done via javascript, and requires that this tag be surrounded by a <form>.

Note that unlike the <s:select/> tag, there is no ability to define the individual <option> tags' id attribute or content separately. Each of these is simply populated from the toString() method of the list item. Presumably this is because the select box isn't intended to actually submit useful data, but to assist the user in filling out the text field.
