I don't think it's a good idea to use hyperlinks for form submission but I'm glad you got it to work.

If anyone is interested, I figured this out. Of course this is a basic
JavaScript problem so I understand not getting a response on the Struts
list. Never the less, I feel that it pertains enough for a solution to be
submitted.

onSubmit is not called if you use JavaScript to submit a form. Rather, you
must call it yourself. So an <html:link> that submits a form, and used the
Struts Validator client side JavaScript might look like:

<html:link href="#" onclick="javascript:if
(document.forms[0].onsubmit())document.forms[0].submit()">
Submit <bean:write name="project" property="title" />
</html:link>

This may seem somewhat trivial. Never the less, look and feel is very
important to a web site. Before using Struts, we have always used
hyperlinks to submit forms. I am able to submit a Struts <html:form> with
an <html:link> tag, but it bypasses the client side validation created by
the Validation plug-in. The client side validation works fine if I use an
<html:submit> button. I would be greatly appreciative to hear if and how
anyone has gotten the <html:link> and client side <html:javascript> tags to
work together in submitting an <html:form>.

I am using the struts.jar from the 10/22 nightly build.

Thanks
