James,
Thanks for your mail. I guess I need to elaborate a little bit. My HTML form can be
submitted in 2ways.
1. Clicking the "Submit" button.
2. Clicking the drop-down
Clicking the drop-down triggers a different action than clicking the "Submit" button.
Selecting a value in the drop-down would submit the form and populate some of the
other fields in the form. This is done before the "Submit" button is clicked. So, I
need to distinguish the action of clicking the drop-down from clicking the "Submit"
button and I called it "Lookup".
Both actions would be identified with a single property in the ActionForm class -
action.
eg:
<html:submit property="action" value="Submit"/>
I would like to set this "action" property value to "Lookup" on clicking the drop-down
using Javascript. I guess a hidden field would not serve the purpose as I already have
"action" property defined for the Submit button.
Look forward to your help/suggestions.
Thanks,
Shyam

You will need to create a hidden field named "action", with a value of
"Lookup":
My question to you is....why "Lookup"? What does that have to do with your
form?
Here's a sample:
function submitForm(form) {
form.action.value="Lookup";
form.submit();
return true;
}
[input]
