Use struts validation, don't give the form it's own name this is done in the struts config file. See Struts in Action chapter 12 (http://www.manning.com/husted/chap12.pdf).

I have a actionForm which initialises a value object(which has getter and setter methods). So my form field elements are specified as below in my jsp page-- <html:form action="createItemdata" method="GET" name="inqform" type="com.xyz.abc.forms.oma.InquiryForm" onsubmit="return validateInqform(inqform)" > <html:select property="inqVO.productDiv" styleClass="SELECTMAND" tabindex="2"> <html:option value="">-- Please Select --</html:option> </html:select> </html:form> Now if I want to do javascript(client end) validation, the form field elements are not recognised since property is converted to name while delivering the html page and the form field element name cannot contain '.'(a dot) within the name for js validation. Now how else can I access the property of the element without a dot for client side validation. Can anyone please help Thanks Veena --------------------------------------------------------------------- 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]
