Adam,
Name parameter in form tag is optional. If you want to submit your page then u can do it by supplying onclick event for default form.
<action path="/help" name="helpActionForm" scope="request"
type="com.expensys.expensyswt.struts.action.DisplayHelp" />
<html:form action="">
<map name="Map">
<area shape="rect" coords="2,0,50,13" href=""
>
</map>
</html:form>
nothing else is required.
sahu

Thanks Jim,
If I understand you correctly, if I have this config in struts-config:
<action path="/help" name="helpActionForm" scope="request"
type="com.expensys.expensyswt.struts.action.DisplayHelp" />
Then I can use "_javascript_:document.helpActionForm.submit()" in the jsp file
to submit a form like this:
<html:form action="" method="POST">
....
</html:form>
Is my understanding correct?
TIA - Adam

The name is optional. I never use it in the form. For _javascript_ porpoises
I use the name of the
ActionForm your using in the struts config.
