You will want to read up on the Validator framework. When you use the Validator, you configure rules about your form in an XML file. Struts will use those rules to perform server-side validation, but, for many basic types of validation, Struts can also (optionally) emit the proper javascript for client-side validation. You can still write your own javascript, if you need to or want to, but for many validation tasks -- including the "can contains numbers only" scenario you mentioned -- Struts will do it for you. You can find a HOWTO guide on the Validator on the Struts site here: http://struts.apache.org/userGuide/dev_validator.html Also, I believe the Struts distribution ships with a validator example. -Greg --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
