<form action="$jslink.Template" method="post"> will set this up for you. You must specify the action that you have defined the "doNext()" method in as the action for this portlet. You do this by adding an "action" parameter to the portlet registry for this portlet: <parameter name="action" value="portlets.MyAction" hidden="false" cachedOnName="true" cachedOnValue="true"/> Another thing to watch out for is to make sure that the base package for your actions is listed as a module directory. Look for "module.packages" in your TurbineResources.properties. Add another properties entry that points to the base package that contains your action classes. Scott
