Again.. based on the submit working and the javascript not (which is the only way the link thing will come close to working) it's a javacript issue. The submit button and form work together, the ActionForm is getting populated. The action is processing the action form. The problem is when you use javascript.. then you're probably not using javascript correctly. What that has to do with Struts I don't know. However... this is what I would try... I would take the rendered version of the page... copy it.. then using your browser submit that... and start tinkering with the javascript from there.. then once you get that working... copy your js to the jsp page. I really don't think that this is a problem between struts and js, since when the js runs, the struts tags are completely out of the picture. > > andy > > On Wed, 28 Jul 2004 09:16:13 -0700, Jim Barrows > <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > That's not surprising, since that's what the submit button > is supposed to do.
