Thank you Martin on this information. This issue was resolved. Basically there was another error in my jsp that cause this issue. Now it is working fine. Simply put <html:button> does support form.submit() when correctly code in onclick. I will however have another issue with sturts validator when using form.submit(), which I will initiate another topic. Thanks.

This class does not implement the doStartTag() or doEndTag() methods. Subclasses should provide appropriate implementations of these. the underlying base class class of SubmitButton is in fact org.apache.struts.taglib.html.BaseHandlerTag which has an onClick event you can use then again why would your javascript function be calling JavaScriptFunction() { form.submit(); } when your submit logic is already processing the onClick event ?
