That's not surprising, since that's what the submit button is supposed to do. You are trying to thing the non-standard and completely screwy way (which imntbho in general of doing ANYTHING in javascript). I would suggest that you are not calling, or setting up the form correctly in your javascript. Works with submit, doesn't work with javascript... it's a javascript issue, not a struts issue. I would suggest a javascript form might have more expertise then you might find here, but posting the javascript would be of help for those who do know something about javascript. > > andy > > On Wed, 28 Jul 2004 10:58:44 -0500, Robert Miller > <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Andy, > > Sorry, I haven't been following your situation closely. > > Have you looked into using Javascript to have the link trigger form > > submission? > > > > An example of what I am talking about can be found here: > > > http://www.javascript-coder.com/javascript-form/javascript-for > m-submit.phtml > > > > Robert > > > > >>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 7/28/2004 10:20:01 AM >>> > > > > > > > > hi all, > > > > i'm still struggling with form submission. i would prefer to use > > links on the page to submit my form instead of a 'submit > button'. but > > i'm unable to get the correct functionality to work. when > submitting > > with the submit button all my hidden fields are slurped up and > > populated on the next page correctly. however, when using > <html:link> > > i'm only able to get one of the values from my hidden fields slurped > > up. the others remain blank... > > using the debugger in my action form i only see one of the three set > > methods getting called even though all three hidden fields > are inside > > the form and are populated. i am using the <html:hidden> field. ;) > > any thoughts? i'm sure there are others that use links on forms > > instead of buttons. what are you doing? > > > > thanks > > andy > > > > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > > To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > > > > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
