Fetch drop down box multi selector - jsp-tags

Question

I have written this program to fetch the drop down multi selector data from the data base and show all the options of multi selectors with highlighting the selected ones with the rest options.
<% String[] skills=(String[])request.getAttribute("skills");
//skills[]={"Core Java","Hibernate","Sql}; // it is dynamic d
String[] allSkills={"Core Java","J2ee","Spring","Hibernate","Sql",".net"};
%>
<tr>
<td>Skills Known</td>
<td><select name="skills" multiple STYLE="width: 148px">
<% for(int i=0;i<allSkills.length-1;i++){
for (int j=0;j<skills.length-1;j++){
if(allSkills[i].equals(skills[j])){%>
<option value=<%=allSkills[i] %> selected="selected"><%=allSkills[i] %></option>
<%return; %>
<%}else if(j==skills.length-1){%>
<option value=<%=allSkills[i] %>><%=allSkills[i] %></option>
<%}
}
}%>
</select>
</td>
</tr>
