tks frank, it works. john "Frank W.

If you make source.js just the following:
function showme() { alert("pls try"); return false; } ...then it MAY work... if it still doesn't, I'd not use the html:javascript tag at all, just use a plain tag... looks to me like your just trying to import the .js file, and I can't think of a good reason to use a Struts tag for something as basic as that anyway. Frank P.S. - I'd bet it's not a problem, but it's unusual to see the taglib declarations within the markup of the page... they are usually prior to the opening tag... again, may not be a problem the way you have it, but I'd move them up, just to be safe. john lee wrote: > Frank/Musachy, > > tks for your help, after i change OnSubmit to lower case, it works.
