Well at least I understand how the thing is supposed to work now. Before I posted here I searched every where I could think of to understand this behavior and the struts documentation certainly wasn't complete in this regard. So thanks for working through the problem guys. What this does do th

After reading "Form Submission" at http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40/interact/forms.html#h-17.13 this behaviour seems correct. === cut here === 17.13.3 Processing form data When the user submits a form (e.g., by activating a submit button), the user agent processes it as follows. Step one: Identify

Rick you hit the nail on the head. In my mind I thought that when I hit 'enter' and when I clicked the button they were doing the same thing (in fact someone asked me this ealier). But now I realize it was failing when I hit enter and working when I pushed the button. The reason for this is I

DispatchAction isn't going to change, since it would create compatibilty problems. But you could always submit a new DispatchAction flavour - it would be pretty simple, just override the getMethodName() method. This type of behaviour has been advocated before, but no ones submitted anything for co

Absolutely agree. but I hate to use javascript unless really needed. Yesterday I suggested to use name instead of value for DispatchAction ("DispatchAction: use name instead of value" in dev list). It did not get any responses though. On 4/29/05, Rick Reumann <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I really

I really don't like using the property on the button for the dispatch parameter. I've run into problems with this before. For example are you use the page always looks the same each time you are doing the post? The reason I ask is I found really weird behavior when you end up with more than one

Its not impossible that it could be a bug in the Struts tags - but those tags have been in use for a long time by alot of people so I would be surprised if that was the case. I don't actually use this technique - all my submit buttons just do a submit and I don't have their "name" attributes set. Y

Nial I used a packet sniffer to see what was actually being posted from the browser to the server. for some reason the &method=addcomponent gets dropped off the post. There doesn't seem to be any logic to it either. I tried spaces in the text field and that works fine most of the time. But i

Hey Niall I tried that debugging solution you suggested and here's the result. In this case the submit worked about 5 times in a row (so I manually clicked submit then went back to that page...etc.etc), then resolved to the unspecified method. Here's the output Value =[null] Locale=[en_US

How about putting some debugging stuff in the unspecified() method in your action. Something like the following and see what it shows... protected ActionForward unspecified(ActionMapping mapping, ActionForm form, HttpServletRequest request, HttpServ

Eric, Are you ever pressing the enter/return key to submit the form instead of clicking on the "method" submit button? That could cause a submit without the method submit button being set (possibly). Regards, David -Original Message- From: Eoin Dunne [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thur
