Ivan.. that is exactly what im looking for... cheers fella..
my only quetion is if the view is a data entry screen, and they have entered data.. when the view is returned to the entered data is lost.. is there a way round this. We thought about subclassing ActionClass and adding code to the execute method to check if the post was from the locale link or a 'proper' post.. then all Actions could subclass this. This would allow us to populate the form with any entered data and hopefully avoid the headache of having to re-enter everything. does this sound feasible?? "Ivan N.
