True, but JavaScript is much more aligned than JScript to ECMA (no surprise there), as Netscape is to XHTML (much to the annoyance of sloppy HTMLers).

RE: Button pressed
Sorry for not getting back sooner, I've had laptop problems. I have done it 2 different ways. 1. Create a hidden text box in the form named 'action' for each submit button (this includes the html:cancel) use onclick=JavaScript:this.action.value='whatever' where 'whatever' is your 'save' or 'update' or 'cancel'... basically whatever you can check for in the action class these are typically Constant variables setup in a static Constants.java class 2. Create all your submit buttons with the name of 'action' if you do this, then you won't need to do the above script and struts will form.setAction() as the value of the button that was pressed. the only problem with this approach is if you have i18n values as the value on the button (which often the case) if so, then you have to find out which bundle is used for that users session and check accordingly (based on the message key that was used in the jsp) Anyway, sorry if this seems 'kludgy', I'm still catching up on mail from sunday and staring at 357 'unread' messages. (argh!!) Let me know if this helps, if not I can throw together a few samples for you. James Mitchell James Mitchell Software Engineer\Struts Evangelist -Original Message- From: Daniel J.

I'd like to know if there is a way that I will know which button was pressed. I have
two buttons in the JSP (Edit and Continue). In my action class I need to know which
one of those was pressed.
Thanks in advance.

RE: Button pressed
You could use the DispatchAction class. See http://jguru.com/faq/view.jsp?EID=897290. Of course, this is doing more than what you have asked for -- however I suspect (going by the button names) that that's what you want.

RE: Button pressed
Assign a name to the button object, then in your action class iterate through all the form attributes, the pressed button will show up with it's corresponding name and a suffix of .X or .Y, it's a tedious way to do it especially if you have a large number of form elements, I prefer using JavaScript myself. -Original Message- From: Carlos Fernandez [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, June 03, 2002 2:42 PM To: Struts Users Mailing List Subject: RE: Button pressed Thanks guys, but...as a company policy, we are not suppose to use java script. -Carlos. -Original Message- From: Bharat Nagwani [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, June 03, 2002 2:39 PM To: Struts Users Mailing List Subject: Re: Button pressed one more alternative create a hidden field and assign a value to it (edit or continue) using javascript and check that hidden field in request.getParameter...
