I was working last week with validation based on actionpath as opposed to ActionForm name and I had the same problem. I worked around it by using the "method" attribute of <html:javascript>, but it did feel kind of like a hack.
I did try leaving the '/' out of the <html:javascript> tag and that resulted in no validation. I saw this on Struts 1.1. I really think you should consider leaving this as a valid low priority bug. I would think the fix would be very simple to implement and it would make life easier for people who are doing action path based validation for the first time. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, July 21, 2003 4:57 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: DO NOT REPLY [Bug 21560] - JavascriptValidatorTag creates invalida javascript method name when validating using action path in formName DO NOT REPLY TO THIS EMAIL, BUT PLEASE POST YOUR BUG RELATED COMMENTS THROUGH THE WEB INTERFACE AVAILABLE AT <http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=21560>.

This configuration works for an Action with a path /myAction - JSP: <html:javascript formName="myAction" /> <html:form action="/myAction" onsubmit="return validateMyAction(this);"> Validation.xml <form name="myAction" onsubmit="return validateMyAction(this);"> If, for any reason, you did need to include the forward slashes, you can use the 'method' attribute of the <html:javascript> to specify a different javascript method name than the default. e.g. <html:javascript formName="/myAction" method="validateMyAction" /> --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
