When you submit a form using struts framework. Every param+value pair is
saved into your ActionForm. Param is the name of your ActionForm's member
variable. If the widget is a button and you want to read the value, either
use request.getAttribute("myButton") or use ActionForm.getMyButton.-----Original Message----- From: Denis Avdic [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: May 28, 2003 2:39 PM To: Struts Users Mailing List Subject: Re: [RANT/FLAME] Re: Submit Value Why wouldn't there be a member variable? In the form? <html:submit property="submitButtonName" value="WhateverValueIWantInHere"> submit is there just because i put property="submit". I could have called it property="yellowdinosaurwithpurplepolkadots" and it would still work (i think, never tried a name that long). I am really confused by what you are saying here...
