Thanks Rob, Unfortunately I don't really know javascript at all - which is why I was hoping to be able to do this using jsp's only and the struts framework (which I have oooh, all of 2 weeks experience with now!).
I guess there's no easy way of doing this without resorting to javascript regards steve __________________________________ -----Original Message----- From: Rob Breeds [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, January 29, 2002 1:20 PM To: Struts Users Mailing List Subject: Re: Struts and frames... I asked something similar to this on jGuru Struts FAQ. I've done simple validation in a multiframe environment. I implemented the (simple) validaton in JavaScript for a form submit from one frame, with the 'target' attribute set to another frame. If the JavaScript function (invoked at form submit) detects a validation error, it allows the form submit to proceed (calling the ActionForm to produce ActionErrors) but first dynamically changes the form target to '_self' so the error messages appear in the originating form. You could also have the target (output) frame receive any ActionErrors in a JavaScript variable and have it notify the originating frame of any errors (using onLoad event), without changing the (visible) content of the target (output frame). Never done popup windows but I can feel one coming on...

I was wondering if there is an elegant way of having ActionErrors appear in an input frame (should there be errors within the form) but having the results of the action (a db lookup for example) appear in a second, output frame should there be no validation errors. At present I've managed to get it so that the ActionErrors will appear within the output frame but really all this is doing is displaying the input form (including errors) within the output frame. I stopped it re-displaying the form itself in this frame by putting a series of <logic> tags around the code within the input jsp. Also, is there any more detailed information on how to configure struts in a multi-frame environment. Specifically, my application is going to need to have pop-up windows which, when closed will return to a multi-frame page. At present I can get the new window to appear but closing it does not redisplay the original page correctly. Apologies again if this topic has been done to death regards __________________________________ Steve Earl InfoGain Limited -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: < mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: < mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
