Thanks Claire, Unfortunately in your example below, any changes made to the page before it was submitted with the cancel button will actually change the values stored on the form though.

They will both actually submit the form to an action, but it is possible to capture the 'cancel' event in your action and therefore forward the user to different places depending upon which one they clicked on. so, for example, say you had a form with one field called 'name' and two buttons- one 'cancel' and one 'submit'... <html:form action="/saveDetails"> <html:text name="DetailsForm" property="name"/> <html:submit>Submit</html:submit> <html:cancel>Cancel</html:cancel> </html:form> in struts-config you define your actions and where you wish to forward to depending on which button the user clicked on: <action input="/xxx.jsp" name="DetailsForm" path="/saveDetails" scope="request" type="xxx.xxx.SaveDetailsAction" validate="false"> <forward name="success" path="/xxx.jsp" /> <forward name="cancel" path="/yyy.jsp" /> </action> and, finally, in your action you can catch the cancel event and forward to the other place like so: if(isCancelled(request)) { return mapping.findForward("cancel"); } else { return mapping.findForward("success"); } I hope that this answers your question - if not then sorry if i am just repeating stuff that you already know! :) regards, Claire :) ----- Original Message ----- From: "Hunt, Steve" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "'Struts Users Mailing List'" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Monday, February 02, 2004 9:06 AM Subject: How do you submit a page and not change values > If you use either html:button, html:submit or html:cancel buttons they > generate <input type="button"> html. > > So how can you create a screen for example with 1 field and 2 buttons, a > submit and a do Not Submit button, both of which navigate the user to a > results screen? > > Regards > Steve > > > ======================================================= > This message contains information that may be privileged or confidential and is the property of the Cap Gemini Ernst & Young Group.
