Thanks Jim,
If I understand you correctly, if I have this config in struts-config: <action path="/help" name="helpActionForm" scope="request" type="com.expensys.expensyswt.struts.action.DisplayHelp" /> Then I can use "javascript:document.helpActionForm.submit()" in the jsp file to submit a form like this: <html:form action="/help.do" method="POST"> .... </html:form> Is my understanding correct?

I never use it in the form. For JavaScript porpoises I use the name of the ActionForm your using in the struts config. > -----Original Message----- > From: Adam Lipscombe [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Friday, June 25, 2004 10:27 AM > To: 'Struts Users Mailing List' > Subject: NEWBIE: how to submit a named html:form via javascript > > > > Folks, > > I want to submit a named html:form. e.g. > > <html:form name="helpForm" action="/help" method="POST"> > <map name="Map"> > <area shape="rect" coords="2,0,50,13" href="" > onclick="javascript:document.helpForm.submit()" > > </map> > </html:form> > > > Wit the above construct Struts complains that the form > requires a "type" > attribute - it seems to want me to specify the classname of > the ActionForm > as the "type". > > My understanding is that Struts deduces the ActionForm to use > automatically > from the struts-config action definition.
