Hi,
To my understanding, in the context of html Taglib, the Name attribute
for the form elements such as <html:text> takes a different meaning than
its original meaning in the standard html form elements. In this case, it refers
to the name of a javabean whose property will be used.
Also, there's a very important characteristic of the property attribute for
<html:text> that is it will be used for the name attribute in the underling html
element. So by specifying the property attribute in the html taglib, you already
specify the name attribute for the html element.
To solve your problem, you have to make appropriate changes to ensure that
the value (name) used for the property attribute has to be the same with your
JavaScript used element name.
Hope this helps,
Shengmeng Liu
