Joe, When using a Struts Validator based on the Action name, you usually need to add the 'method="validateSomeName"' because the Struts Validator wants to use the exact name in your validation xml file. In your case, that is "/Login" which matches your action. So, change your html:javascript and html:form along these lines:
<html:form action="/Login.do" focus="emailAddress" onsubmit="return validateLogin(this)"> <html:javascript formName="/Login" method="validateLogin"> For more details see html:javascript and html:form in the Struts docs: http://jakarta.apache.org/struts/userGuide/struts-html.html#javascript Regards, David -----Original Message----- From: Joe Hertz [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, November 24, 2003 2:37 AM To: 'David Friedman' Subject: RE: Validator Backend Issues Don't laugh. Now I remember the problem I first encountered. I'm getting a generated javascript function of "validate/Login(form)" Do I have to escape the slash in the generated js function name or something to call it? <html:form action="/Login.do" focus="emailAddress" onsubmit="return validate/Login(this)"> > -----Original Message----- > From: David Friedman [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Monday, November 24, 2003 2:03 AM > To: Struts Users Mailing List; [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: RE: Validator Backend Issues > > > Joe, > > Nope.
