The question is when the user 'cancels' do you want to do anything before you forward to the home page.
If you don't need to do any processing before forwarding to the home page then just have a <html:link> to the home page. If you do ... The <html:cancel> tag generates an <input type="submit" name="org.apache.struts.taglib.html.CANCEL" value="..." onclick="bCancel=true;"/>. The javascript validations are not performed if bCancel is true and the RequestProcessor skips validations if the request contains 'org.apache.struts.taglib.html.CANCEL' As you are not using the <html:cancel> tag, you need to do what it does so that validations are not done or put your own check in the forms validate() method so that if the user is "cancelling" then don't do the validation. I guess something along the lines of... <html:image property="org.apache.struts.taglib.html.CANCEL" onclick="bCancel=true;" .....> Although I haven't tried it.

Either just use javascript to send to home page, or add a path in struts-config to go to home page if cancel button was selected. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 24 February 2004 16:40 To: Struts Users Mailing List Subject: RE: Validation doubt?

Don't submit the form when user clicks on cancel button..... This will avoid calling validate method off the form bean. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, February 24, 2004 11:21 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Validation doubt?
