Just an FYI to those that care. I for one, hate using Struts specific tags
in my view layer. I've never figured out what the benefit is from straying
from standardized HTML tags, especially when they are not needed. So I use
regular HTML forms, controls and buttons.
The only requirement to getting this to work properly, is setting the name
attribute on your tags, as this is what Struts uses to popular bean
properties (at least in my experience). Someone correct me if I'm wrong.
Here is an example form that works in Struts without having to use the
Struts tags:
<form method="post" action="[EMAIL PROTECTED] action="login" /]">
<label for="username">[EMAIL PROTECTED] name="i18n.input.username" /]:
</label>
<input type="text" name="username" id="username"
maxlength="${USERNAME_MAX_LENGTH}" value="${username!}" tabindex="1" /><br
/>
<label for="password">[EMAIL PROTECTED] name="i18n.input.password" /]:
</label>
<input type="password" name="password" id="password"
maxlength="${PASSWORD_MAX_LENGTH}" value="${password!}" tabindex="2" /><br
/>
<input type="submit" name="submit" id="submit" value="Login"
tabindex="3" />
</form>
I'm using Freemarker for my views which is why you see funny tags and
expression syntax. But you could just as easily use JSP as well.
Cheers,

Exactly what I told you the first time.
Did you look at the link I provided that gives you a
list of (all, but only pay attention to the
Struts-specific ones!) attributes that
<html:submit.../> uses?
http://struts.apache.org/1.2.9/userGuide/struts-html.html#submit
altKey, bundle, indexed, titleKey, and property are
all Struts-specific (I think)... largely message- and
ActionForm-related stuff.
