I don't believe it can be done with the fields named like that, but there is a trick you might be able to use. ;-) 1) In the <input> elements, use names of the form "dynaFields.field_1", etc. The name isn't important, but the dot is. 2) Create a corresponding Map property in your form bean (i.e. a property named "dynaFields" in this example). When your action form is populated, you will end up with the "dynaFields" map containing key/value pairs corresponding to the name/value pairs from your <input> elements. -- Martin Cooper > > > Thanks, > Andy --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
