Cheers, Vishal -----Original Message----- From: Jim Reynolds [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, November 04, 2005 7:12 PM To: user@struts.apache.org Subject: Client Side Validator Fails When Submit from Javascript I have been playing with the client-side validation, and ran into a problem last night that I can docuemnt, but cannot figure out why it fails. The below file, shows a form and when you hit the submit, presents the appropriate alert box with the proper message. All is good, and works when the "submit" is pressed. But if you try and use a javascript:document.form.submit(), the document is submitted but the alert does NOT work. So basically the validation fails. I have tried multiple ideas, and all have not worked. But I really need the ability to do submits from a javascript: Technically, I was unare of any difference between a submit button, and a submit form using the javascript: Anyone? Here is the jsp page, in case one sees something odd: <%@ include file="/tags.jsp" %> <html:html locale="true"> <head> <title>fyi</title> <html:base/> </head> <body bgcolor="white"> <html:form action="/AddressJavascriptValidation" method="post" onsubmit="return validateAddressForm(this);"> <td align="center" colspan="2"> <font size="4"><b>Please Enter the Following Details</b></font> </tr> <tr> <td align="right"> <b>Name</b> </td> <td align="left"> <html:text property="name" size="30" maxlength="30"/> </td> </tr> <tr> <td align="right"> <b>Address</b> </td> <td align="left"> <html:text property="address" size="30" maxlength="30"/> </td> </tr> // HERE IS A LINK USING SIMPLE JAVASCRIPT TO SUBMIT THAT // FAILS.******************************************************************** <a href="javascript:document.AddressForm.submit()">doit</a> <tr> <td align="right"> <b>E-mail address</b> </td> <td align="left"> <html:text property="emailAddress" size="30" maxlength="30"/> </td> </tr> <tr> <td align="right"> <html:submit>Save</html:submit> </td> <td align="left"> <html:cancel>Cancel</html:cancel> </td> </tr> </table> </div> <!-- Begin Validator Javascript Function--> <html:javascript formName="AddressForm"/> <!-- End of Validator Javascript Function--> </html:form> </body> </html:html> --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Make your callers hear anything you like.Call 456 say DIALER TONES.
