You could use a GET request with the value for that field appended as a query parameter. These are treated the same as POSTed parameters when the form is populated. (Dont forget to rewrite the url to preserve session for cookie haters).
-Of course you will lose the values for all the other fields when you get back to the form from the server trip unless you do something tricky to avoid reloading the page - such as fire the request in a hidden iframe (of course if you to go to another page after this then thats probably a moot point) -----Original Message----- From: Manuel Lenz [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, 5 June 2003 17:23 To: Struts Users Mailing List Subject: Antwort: RE: RE: Submitting value with Graphical Buttons Hi Dirk, you are right with your statement, but this is not exactly what I want to do. You are filling an input field in the html-page and submit this value. I´d like to fill directly an field in a specified FormBean on the server. But how do I address this field in the expected FormBean? I´dont like to use your solution, because the browser caches the input-values of the form. If an user takes the back-button to go to the last form, the field will be still filled in. This causes some following problems. Is there a possibility to save the value directly in the server-FormBean?
