When the user clicks one of those, Struts will populate the form associated with (I assume) PrepareSearchAction. Does the mapping for that have a 'name' attribute? Does that Form have get/setSearchType methods? If you need to "remember" data, it's often easiest to put the Form bean in session scope. And you can associate one Form to several different Actions if it makes sense for your application. Some people will argue against session scope, so you may want to consult the archives and see if their reasons apply to your situation. > so when they user lands on my form, I want to prepopulate the > search type based on what they chose. That will just magically happen if you let Struts populate the form from the query string parameter and then use the same Form bean when you display your HTML form using the JSP. Rather than confuse the issue, if you still need help, post your struts-config.xml so we can see what you've got. -- Wendy Smoak Application Systems Analyst, Sr. ASU IA Information Resources Management --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
