We use this solutions quite a bit... in fact we have the form in a hidden iframe which the user does not see but appears for developers for debbuging purposes.. when the action completes javascript in the iframe page updates a message box on the main page alerting the user to the fact that the selection was saved (or not in case of error) this has worked extremely well for us
-----Original Message----- From: Brad Balmer [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, May 12, 2004 8:47 AM To: Struts Users Mailing List Subject: Re: Design Issue/Question So I would create a frame on my page that has a form with the action that I need to call? Then my javascript (onclick) would just reference the new frame and call the submit on the frame? Is this correct? If so, by submitting the frame there would be no perceived effect on the page that the customer is currently looking at? Thanks.
