Hi Jim Tried that but I have Javascript validation turned on for the page. It's kicking in before the submit. Is there a way to disable the javascript validation when the cancel button is pressed.

Oh... in that case the reset button should go to the action that displays the page in the first place, which will have the validation=false on it. This is a good place for one of the dispatch actions. > Thanks > Donie > > > -----Original Message----- > From: Jim Barrows [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: 08 December 2004 17:28 > To: Struts Users Mailing List > Subject: RE: Form validation > > > > > -----Original Message----- > > From: Donie Kelly [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > > Sent: Wednesday, December 08, 2004 10:14 AM > > To: Struts Users Mailing List > > Subject: Form validation > > > > > > Hi all > > > > > > > > I have a form that uses the standard form validation based on the > > validation.xml file.
