<html:form is a JSP Tag library that renders a <form tag based on the struts-config. document.form.submit() is a JavaScript expression that is going to submit the specific form.

What does the tag <html:form do that document.form.submit() doesn't do ? If there is a considerable difference between these two methods, then it might explain some of the things we have been facing here. Mohan -----Original Message----- From: Ian Hunter [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, March 13, 2003 7:21 AM To: Struts Users Mailing List Subject: Accessing DynaActionForm fields within custom tag I have a form where the submit button is supposed to say "add login" or "update login" depending on if the user in question (based on field fkMember) already exists in the login database. I have tags called HasLogin and HasNoLogin that take an integer parameter, and return whether or not the condition is true. I am using a DynaActionForm to populate the rest of the fields. The DynaActionForm is a session scoped bean called "loginForm" -- the following code actually works: <!-- form tags and all that above --> <td><html:submit> <jsp:useBean id="loginForm" scope="session" class="org.apache.struts.action.DynaActionForm"/> <app:HasNoLogin idMember="<%=new Integer (Integer.parseInt((String)loginForm.get("fkMember")))%>"> <bean:message key="button.addlogin"/> </app:HasNoLogin> <app:HasLogin idMember="<%=new Integer (Integer.parseInt((String)loginForm.get("fkMember")))%>"> <bean:message key="button.updatelogin"/> </app:HasLogin> </html:submit></td> <!-- rest of page below --> The syntax above offends my sensibilities. First, I ought to be able to refer to the bean in question without using a <jsp:useBean> I think; it's obviously available to the rest of the form, if the form works (and it does). Seconds, casting the get() as a String and doing a parseInt to it to create a new Integer is silly. Isn't there a more elegant way to do this?
