I did figure that out Adam. Thanks much! But, in the browser, when I hit the back button and then the refresh button, the values remain in the appropriate elements... this is fine. But, when I hit the enter key in the location bar, should not the page reload and the values cleared??? This does not happen here??? why??? Please let me know... -Joseph

You must specify the form (in the mapping) and the form fields with etc if you want the values submitted to reappear in the fields again. It can be confusing. Have you checked out the examples that come with struts? I'm sure one of those demonstrates this functionality.
