Hi Chitral,

we use value="{!selectedAcctId}" to store our selected value from the List.
Means the value which we selected from pick list that value stored in SelectedAcctId variable.

Here id is unique id of the component. You can use this id in other component to refer this selectList.
Value is the controllers's variable whose value you want to access

Value tag bind the component with controller's variable so whatever you will type in, it will stored that in controller variable and displayed on page. It does both putting and accessing. If value is in the controller variable then will display that value and if you change the value it will set that value in controller field.

perfect .
means in the vf page suppose we select accnt name abcd so it id is stored in SelectedAcctId  and  
it will loop inside theacctContacts   based on that SelectedAcctId from the picklist .
 
public void getAccountContacts(){
      
        acctContacts = [Select Id, FirstName, LastName from Contact where AccountId = :selectedAcctId];
    }

Correct.

n for "id" tag in select list  it will display name of all the account having unique id which it will check in accts
<apex:selectList id="accts" value="{!selectedAcctId}" size="1" >
Chitral ChaddaChitral Chadda

<apex:actionsupport event="onchange" action="{! getAccountContacts}" rerender="ContactDetail" />
it will go to getAccountContacts then ,

<apex:repeat value="{!acctContacts}" var="contact">
<p>{!contact.FirstName & ' ' & contact.LastName}</p>
</apex:repeat>


it will loop in acctContacts  and for all the contact found for a particular id , it will save it to the list :
 public List<Contact> acctContacts {get;set;}

 nd  we will print it thru 
var="contact"
<p>{!contact.FirstName & ' ' & contact.LastName}</p>


is this the functioning?
