Thanks alot for the multibox answer, it worked fine.
I have another problem plaguing me at the moment. I have a JSP application on which you can perform a certain search. Because I dont know how many search results will be returned I have to make sure that I have page numbers, dynamically created which will forward the user from on page to the next, but because I don't know how many pages there will be in advance I have to use the paramId and paramName attributes. When I do this, my form bean is bypassed completely because I am not submitting the form.
How do I solve this problem? Please, if anybody has any similar solution or examples point me in the right direction.
Thanks alot in advance.
