Duane, As far as I understand, "disabled" is a property of the form which should be denoted as
document.forms[0].disabled and not just by disabled as you have done in if(disabled ==true ) change it to: if( document.forms[0].disabled == true ) and it should work. This is the reason the if(.......) is always evaluating to "false" (i.e the 'else' case). Amitava Basak ASE Tata Consultancy Services Limited Mailto: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Website: http://www.tcs.com "Duane Rosengartner" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 08/06/2005 12:13 AM Please respond to "Struts Users Mailing List" <user@struts.apache.org> To <struts-user@jakarta.apache.org> cc Subject Javascript + Struts <html:hidden write='true'> tag problem I have the following Javascript primarily used to manipulate a CSS style and make a portion of a form visible. In the process, the achor invoking the JavaScript passes parameters from a table Row(resultset) displayed. In this Row, I have two bean properties declared as Java type Boolean. The toString() on the link resolves to 'true'/'false' correctly. I have placed alert tags in the javascript and have determined that the 'if' statements are working correctly also. The problem is that the two properties are behaving differently in the view, for reasons I cannot pin down. document.forms[0].disabled shows the correct status of the Row, document.forms[0].locked always shows false. I suspected 'locked' may be a reserved word, but have rewritten the bean and supporting code to rename the property, and this has had no effect. Things that DO WORK: The link is passing the correct values to JS, No JS error being thrown, as it would if the form property were not found. The visible, not visible works, also a checkbox instead shows the appropriate checked/not checked condition, so I can assume a page refresh is not the issue. Any other debug tips would be appreciated. Javascript: function PortalFilterForm_AccountDetails(rowId,rewardSummaryId,pin,inUse,disabled ) { //alert("rowId = " + rowId + "\nrewardSummaryId = " + rewardSummaryId + "\ninUse = " + inUse + "\ndisabled = " + disabled); var detailElement = document.getElementById("accountDetail"); detailElement.style.visibility = "visible"; var rid = document.getElementById("rid"); rid.innerHTML = rowId; document.forms[0].rewardSummaryId.value = rewardSummaryId; document.forms[0].pin.value = pin; if(inUse == true){ document.forms[0].locked.checked = true; //alert("evaluated true"); } else{ document.forms[0].locked.checked = false; //alert("evaluated false"); } if(disabled == true) document.forms[0].disabled.checked = true; else document.forms[0].disabled.checked = false; //document.forms[0].locked.value = inUse; //document.forms[0].disabled.value = disabled; // also tried: //document.forms[0].locked.value = inUse + ""; //document.forms[0].disabled.value = disabled + ""; } JSP - Note the commented out code does not work (hidden write=true). The checkbox does work on both.. (Boolean type on both) ( Struts API says HTML:hidden requires String, but Boolean can be cast, and remember I have one working property, plus one not working < ? ? >) <td align="left" width="15%"> <%--<html:hidden property="locked" write="true"/> --%> <html:checkbox property="locked" disabled="true"/> </td> <td align="right" class="form-td-label" width="15%"><span class="form-element-label"> Disabled </span></td> <td align="left"> <%--<html:hidden property="disabled" write="true"/>--%> <html:checkbox property="disabled" disabled="true"/> </td> * * <a href="javascript:PortalFilterForm_AccountDetails(${row_rowNum},${row.rew ardSummaryId},${row.acctId},${row.inUse},${row.disabled});" class="fancy"> <%=pageContext.getAttribute("row_rowNum")%></a> ForwardSourceID:NT00007576 Notice: The information contained in this e-mail message and/or attachments to it may contain confidential or privileged information.
