How to create dynamic select options

Hi this drop down menu

<td class="selectBox"><select name="questionType" id="questionType" disabled=""><option value="">--Select--</option><option value="1"id="1">text</option><option value="2"id="2">rating</option><option value="3"id="3">boolean</option><option value="4"id="4">option</option></select></td>

and its created dynamically using jstl

'<td class="selectBox"><select name="questionType" id="questionType" disabled=""><option value="">--Select--</option><c:forEach items="${questionTypes}" var="questionType"><option value="${questionType.id}"id="${questionType.id}">${questionType.name }</option></c:forEach></select></td>';

Now I want to give a class "show-checkboxes" to one of the drop down whose value is option <option value="4"id="4" class="show-checkboxes">option</option>

so I did this jstl

'<td class="selectBox"><select name="questionType" id="questionType" disabled=""><option value="">--Select--</option><c:forEach items="${questionTypes}" var="questionType"><c:choose><c:when tes="${questionType.name.equals("option")}"><option class ="show-checkboxes" value="${questionType.id}"id="${questionType.id}">${questionType.name }</option></c:when><c:otherwise><option  value="${questionType.id}"id="${questionType.id}">${questionType.name }</option></c:otherwise></c:choose></c:forEach></select></td>';

but its not working

Can any body please tell me the error?

Replace 

<c:when tes="${questionType.name.equals("option")}">

with 

<c:when test="${questionType.name eq \"option\"}">

OR

<c:when test="${questionType.name eq 'option'}">

You are using double quotes inside double quotes that is causing the issue.

Find a sample code here JSTL Core c:when Tag

In tag 

<c:when tes="${questionType.name.equals("option")}">

the word test is missing last letter. It might be cause of strange behaviour.
