You could add your own attribute to a form tag, so that your javascript
could distinguish forms based on the value/presence of this attribute.
eg the following has 5 different forms, all with the same name and fields,
but I've added a new attribute 'mylabel':
<html>
<head>
<script>
function showForms() {
var s='';
for (var i=0;i<document.forms.length;i++) s+="Form label is
"+document.forms[i].mylabel+"\n";
alert(s);
}
</script>
</head>
<body onLoad="showForms();">
<form action="action.do" mylabel="01">
<textarea name="YP01" cols="70" rows="3">
</textarea>
</form>
<form action="action.do" mylabel="02">
<textarea name="YP01" cols="70" rows="3">
</textarea>
</form>
<form action="action.do" mylabel="03">
<textarea name="YP01" cols="70" rows="3">
</textarea>
</form>
<form action="action.do" mylabel="04">
<textarea name="YP01" cols="70" rows="3">
</textarea>
</form>
<form action="action.do" mylabel="05">
<textarea name="YP01" cols="70" rows="3">
</textarea>
</form>
</body>
</html>

| Subject: Specifying HTML form names
|
>--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
I have a JSP with two forms, and they both need to go to the same
action. But Struts assumes that the "name" property of the HTML form
(e.g. <FORM NAME="MYFORM">) should be the same as the name of the
associated form bean. As a result, I can't use JavaScript to refer to
one of the forms, since they both have the same name.
Is this a situation where I need to write my own version of <html:form>?
Why does Struts make this assumption?
Things I've already considered:
- Using two different actions with different form beans. This doesn't
work, since the JSP needs to refer to the form bean by name (for
example, in <bean:write>). If I use two actions that return the same
JSP, they need to use the same form bean.
- Combining the two forms into one. This doesn't work in my situation,
since the forms need to submit different values for the same fields.
- Referring to the forms by number in my JavaScript (e.g.
document.forms[0]). This doesn't work, since there may be other forms on
the page, which would throw off the numbering.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Jacob
