Thanks Dave, that works! I finally also found a working example here: http://javachamp.blogspot.com/2008/06/struts-2-ajax-drop-down-example.html
You can actually get rid of any javascript functions and just publish the topic in the onchange and use die struts div tag to do the rest: <s:form id="regionClassForm" theme="ajax" action="occResourceStatsByRegion" namespace="/ajax"> <s:hidden name="resource_id" value="%{resource_id}" /> <s:select name="region" list="regionClasses" value="region" onchange="dojo.event.topic.publish('imgByRegion_topic');return false;" theme="ajax"/> </s:form> <s:url id="imgByRegionUrl" action="occResourceStatsByRegion" namespace="/ajax" includeParams="none"/> <s:div id="imgByRegion" href="%{imgByRegionUrl}" formId="regionClassForm" listenTopics="imgByRegion_topic" theme="ajax"></s:div> pretty nice.
