Thanks for the suggestion! I tried both methods so I can learn. I can see myself using both approaches in the future.
Although I noticed one thing, I had a page with 2 forms and whenever I have one of the forms submit my ajax call, a "TypeError: elements has no properties" message is returned. This only occurs when I put the sitemesh filter on. Most of the form elements were just generated using the struts tags. I tried disabling the validate parameter and I didn't get the error anymore. Could this error be part of the js code generated for validations? Is it alright (or proper practice) to have 2 forms in one page calling different actions? Thanks again for the help!
