In a form on a JSP I have input text boxes, one with a link beside it
that opens a field value selector window.

<html:text property="userField1" />

<html:text property="userField2" />
<a href="javascript:window.open('
   <html:rewrite page="/promptUserField.do?parent=XXX" 
            name="requestform"  property="udf2Map" />');">
   <img src="<html:rewrite page='/images/inspect.gif' />" ></a>

With the link parameter hard coded as "parent=XXX", this works
perfectly. However, I need to pass the current value of "userField1"
as the parent value to the promptUserField action. Basically, instead
of "parent=XXX", I need
"parent=document.requestform.userField1.value".

Now, this doesn't seem that tough, but I am drawing a huge blank on a
solution. Javascript retrieves the current field value, but then what?
Is it possible to combine scriptlets and javascript to build that page
attribute? I just don't see how.

I can put an onchange event in the userField1 tag to update a hidden
field or requestform field. But would that help me? I am already
passing a map for parameters. I can't tack on another single
requestform parameter using the tag attributes that Struts could
access automatically.

I am not coming up with an idea as to how to put this together. Can
someone just point me in the right direction?

Thanks, 
Susan
