> 
> <form name="wpViewSelect" method="post"

> <td><select name="wpView" style="width:150px" 
> onchange="document.forms.wpViewSelect.submit()">
> </select>
> </td>
> </form>
> 
> In the top_head.jsp the code generating the selection is:
> 
>          wp.getViewSelect("name=\"wpView\" style=\"width:150px\" 
> onchange=\"document.forms.wpViewSelect.submit()\"")

Maybe there is a confict of libaries, e.g. Xerces or Digester, that causes a
file not to be imported? Check ouf WEB-INF/config/setup.log to see if there
are any issues reported during setup. This is a fairly uncommon issue. The
wpViewSelect is filled from the folders in (VFS) /system/workplace/views/...

Alex.
