JavascriptValidatorTag creates invalida javascript method name when validating using 
action path in formName

           Summary: JavascriptValidatorTag creates invalida javascript
                    method name when validating using action path in

When using DynaValidatorActionForm and if you want to enable both javascript 
and server-side validation using the same validation definition then you need 
to use the action-mapping path as the formName attribute of the html:javascript 
tag. Because the default method name given to the form's javascript validator 
the is 'validate' + formName the forward slash causes an error in the page. 

I've resolved this in my version of the code by replacing the forward slash 
with underscore and viceversa when refering to the javascript validation method 
in the form's onclick.

e.g.
&lt;html:form action="newClaimInitial.do" onsubmit="if (!
validate_newClaimInitial(this)) return false;"&gt;
&lt;html:javascript formName="/newClaimInitial"/&gt;
