Hi Rajesh,
Didn't see you for while!
I don't know how to straighen out the 'action' part of it.
But without it, if you add a hidden field to the form identical to the
button:
<INPUT TYPE=HIDDEN NAME="btnRefresh_onWebEvent(btnRefresh)"
VALUE="Refresh" >
a simple submit() will take you there.
Regards,
Aby
