The <html:form struts tag will render/ create an html page (from your jsp)
which will be, standard html form tag:
<form action="XZXZXZ" method="post">
The value XXZXZ will be taken from the struts-config.xml at runtime/ page
creation time.
Method by default will always be post.
In html u can submit a form either by having a submit button rendered with
<input type="submit">
Or use javascript to submit it (form.submit())

Subject: <html:form tag and document submit()
Hi,
I have a dumb question to ask.
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.

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?
