Hi,I am posting from roomity. Somehow my origainal post was truncated. Here is my question. I have several buttons in my form. 1. <html:submit property="submitAction" value="Save"> This is fine, I get submitAction="Save" when action is invoked. 2. <html:button property="submitAction" value="Delete" onclick="javascript:show('myAction.do?submitAction=Delete&.....')"> Function show(url) is defined as in my first post. I found that the property is not submitted, so I have to append "submitAction=Delete" after the action. So if I use javascript, what does the property field give me? 3. <html:button property="submitAction" value="Add Property" onclick="javascript:checkProp()"> This is my real problem. I have a single selection dropdown menu which contains the allowed properties of the object. When user selects a property and clicks the Add Property button, I call checkProp() to check if it already added to the object. If yes, I alert user and don't submit form; if no, I call form.submit(). I found that submitAction="" if the form is submitted this way. I tried to do form.submitAction.value = "Add Property" before submit(), but that didn't help. How can I pass that value?
If you define an onclick event handler then, as far as I understand it, clicking the button will execute the event handler first and then submit the form second *if* the event handler returns true. So, if your checkProp() function returns true the form would be submitted as if you hadn't had an onclick handler; if it returns false, the form will not be submitted.
For case 2, you're specifying the URL to load in the Javascript so you're not submitting the form. Therefore your form properties aren't included in the request. I'm not sure how you get the onclick handler to submit the form as if the handler weren't there, my Javascript fu isn't that good yet ;-)
