Shyam:
I am not sure what you mean, can you elaborate that?
The current form only has one 'submit' button. After the user fills in data
on the current form, I want the data to be submitted to the DB and then
automatically be taken back to the 'previous' screen. This previous screen
can be a 'Create main screen' or an 'Update main screen'. I use a hidden
field 'whichAction' to "remember" which is the 'previous' screen. So when
the user submits the input data on the cuurrent form, that's when the
javascript submitForm() function decides which screen
(/app/fdd/shopWorkOrder/fromCreateShopWorkOrder or
/app/fdd/shopWorkOrder/fromUpdateShopWorkOrder) to return to.
Example:
Create Main screen ----> use 'theForm' to input data --------> return
back to Create main
Update Main screen -----> use 'theForm' to input data --------> return
back to Update main
(this screen 'theForm' is where I decide
which precious screen to return
to based on the hidden field "whichAction".
That's why <form action> has to be dynamic
My user only wants "ONE" submit button on "theForm" and the application
should be smart enough to return to the correct 'previous' page.

Just a suggestion. Not sure if I'm right...
Instead of using onSubmit() event of your <html:form>,
why don't you call the Javascript when the user
clicks/submits the associcated HTML component -
"Create/Update button", and set the action
accordingly.
