You can't.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but the <html:form action=""> property is what
let's struts know which Form object to map your .jsp to. I'm don't think
this will work for you unless all the possible urls you'd submit to share
the same Form.
What you may want to do instead then is look at something along the lines of
DispatchAction, and pass a parameter that tells Struts which logical action
it should forward to after hitting the for submit action (which would be a
subclass of DispatchAction or something similar).
Of course you could do as the previous poster said and change the action to
submit to in your javascript onSubmit function:
function onSubmit() {
forms[0].action="/Some/New/Action.do";
return true;
}
And then you'd put logic to decide where to actually submit to inside the
onSubmit function.

But I don't always want "/app/fdd/shopWorkOrder/fromCreateShopWorkOrder" to
be my action all the time. I want the action for the form to be "dynamic"
and depends on the form field "whichAction". That's why I created the
javascript function submitForm(frm) to pick the action "dynamically". In
other words, I have <action mapping> in my struts-config.xml file for both
path "/app/fdd/shopWorkOrder/fromCreateShopWorkOrder" and
"/app/fdd/shopWorkOrder/fromUpdateShopWorkOrder". But I want whichever one
to be chosen to be "dynamically". So how I do that all within the
<html:form> tag?

I never said anything close to what you're asking me.
All I said is choose one of your two possible outcomes (doesn't matter which
one), take the path that you gave it in the struts-config.xml, then use that
in your <html:form>.
Let's say you have the ff entry in your struts-config:
<action path="/fromCreateShopWorkOrder" ...
name="theForm">
<forward .../>
</action>
then in your html:form, specify that action:
<html:form action="/fromCreateShopWorkOrder"
method="post"
onSubmit="return submitForm(document.theForm)">
...
</html:form>
You do have <action>'s associated with fromCreateShopWorkOrder and
fromUpdateShopWorkOrder, right?
