There is nothing wrong with Javascript in general - when used judiciously.
The problem with Javascript (in this particular situation) is that if Javascript is disabled or unavailable for any reason, the user will not be able to submit the request - this is a major accessibility no-no. IIRC the OP was interested not because the the URL was too long but to hide the information being sent - potentially a security issue - hence the POST suggestion initially. -Rod -----Original Message----- From: Slattery, Tim - BLS [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, September 07, 2007 14:42 To: Struts Users Mailing List Subject: RE: pass parameters to action > > > > <a href="javascript:document.myform.submit()">Submit the form</a> > > Oh, the humanity! > > Seriously, I hate seeing this kind of code.

That was the point of her original post. And it can be important if you're trying to control how your user steps through your application. -- Tim Slattery [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
