>make each button on the form a submit button
I can't do it, because button has to have image, so I use <input
type=image...>
Will that work ?
Also, are you sure this this.form.rowId.value='${list.rowId}';
will work together with my form.action='action.do?command=notify'
I think, Javascript will get screwed up - will complain.
And I will have to make all inside a scriplet, something like:
onClick="<% form.rowId.value=<*c:out* *value=*'${list.rowId}/>;
form.action='action.do?command=notify' %>"
Is that better ?
