You have my sympathies Jim! I have been wrestling with this same problem. I am attempting to fix a bug in some code that uses a multibox. I too had a reset method called by struts (1.02). My problem is that I only wanted to call the reset method when I submitted the search initially. There were times when I returned to the search page and I wanted the search criteria (including my checkbox value) to still be there. Unfortunately the struts calls the reset method all the time resetting the checkbox value.
I have since worked around this by putting a branch around the checkbox reset in the actionForm obtaining a value from the request which is only set when the search is first submitted. This ensures that the checkbox value is only reset when the search is submitted in the first place and not when returned to. Is there any intention to modify the html:multibox tag so that it submits a value for when it is unchecked? regards, Chris. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 31 March 2004 09:16 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: SV: Problem with html:multibox not clearing Hi Have a reset() (Inherited from ActionForm) method in you form bean. In it you set all Boolean/boolean variables to false/null. That way, because a nonselected value is never submitted, when you get tne value from the form bean, it is false/null Hermod -----Opprinnelig melding----- Fra: Jim Kennedy [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sendt: 30. mars 2004 22:06 Til: 'Struts Users Mailing List' Emne: Problem with html:multibox not clearing I am using an html:multibox that is pretty much working fine except when I uncheck all choices. I am also using the logic:iterate tag to generate many checkboxes. If I have a single box checked I can't seem to uncheck it if it's the last one. If I have several checked, I can uncheck them one at a time and that works. At least until I get down to just one checked. Very odd. The problem seems to be that I can't get Struts to realize that there are no checkboxes checked after I submit the form. I am using struts 1.1, with DynaValidatorForm's. Here's some of my code: ... <form-property name="amenity" type="java.lang.String[]" /> ... <td colspan="4"> <logic-el:iterate id="item" name="amenities" indexId="i"> <html-el:multibox property="amenity"> <bean:write name="item" property="code"/> </html-el:multibox> <bean:write name="item" property="description"/> </logic-el:iterate> </td> Don't think the above is the issue. It's something deeper I think. Any help is appreciated.
