Nick, That looks like a very interesting solution. Could you explain which values are which?
I subsituted your code into my environment and it wants deleteFormAction to be a static variable on "my.project.PatientEdit". I tried to get it to call my method, but my method is a listener. So, I don't want to put a static variable in my class and if I create a method without the "IRequestCycle cycle", how do I get which was the selected item? thanks, Mark -----Original Message----- From: Nick Westgate [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thu 8/18/2005 4:09 AM To: Tapestry users Subject: Re: LinkSubmit not passing in arguments Hi Mark and Muhariz. Have you considered using the LinkSubmit selected and tab parameters? <component id="deleteLink" type="LinkSubmit"> <binding name="selected" expression="submitTarget"/> <binding name="tag" expression="@[EMAIL PROTECTED]"/> </component> I'm using a string because I like to do naughty things: adding extra 'parameters' to the string and parsing it later. But the certified Tapestry Way would be to use an array type or some other object that suits you if you have more than one 'parameter' to pass. Tag gets assigned to selected before the component or form listener is called. Then you can grab your 'parameters' from selected. Does this do what you need? Cheers, Nick.
