Thanks for the suggestions. Jim's idea is kind of what I'm doing now. Although I'm using my own makeshift isActionCancelled (request, mapping) method. I keep track of the last action's path (in the session) and when a 'cancel' parameter is present in the request - I call the above method. I can then verify that the 'cancel' relates to this action, by checking that the current action's path (mapping.getPath()) is the same as the last action. In my application, the last action prior to displaying a form will always be the same action that the form submits to.
This overcomes the problem of the 'cancel' parameter still being in the request when it reaches the next action down the line. Probably overly-complex, but it's working and more importantly - I can understand why it's working!. Now if only I could explain all these things to the poor student who'll be taking over my project in September. :) Lindsay -----Original Message----- From: Jim Crossley [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 02 May 2002 15:08 To: Struts Users Mailing List Subject: Re: How do I pass an ActionForward's path into a button's onclick () h andler Or put this in your form: <html:cancel/> And this in your Action: if (isCancelled(request)) return mapping.findForward("home"); -- Jim "Galbreath, Mark" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> writes: > Try this: > > <html:cancel value="Cancel" onclick="javascript:location='/do/home'" /> > > Mark > > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Wednesday, May 01, 2002 1:26 PM > > I have a form and it has a 'confirm' and a 'cancel' button.
