jsp实现将信息放入xml中的方法

省： <select id="province" name="province" onchange="jsSubmit()"> 
    <option value="北京" selected="selected">北京</option> 
    <option value="广东">广东</option> 
    <option value="海南">海南</option> 
  </select> 
市： <select id="city" name="city"> 
    <option value="北京">北京</option> 
 </select>
