It sounds like you want to use <jsp:forward and not an ActionServlet. The ActionServlet has many design advantages and is used mainly as an organized controller in the model-view-controller design pattern.
If you are writing a very large application, you should use this as you can decrease the amount of code you need to write and the application will be easier to maintain. If you are writing a very small application, you can still use the ActionServlet.... ActionServlet runs like a RequestProcessor which selects and invokes an action to run the necessary business logic. You may want to look up a tutorial on how to write your first Action - ActionForm and attempt to move from there. Otherwise, just do what you need to in your JSP. -----Original Message----- From: news [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Laurie Harper Sent: Wednesday, November 14, 2007 6:47 PM To: user@struts.apache.org Subject: Re: forward to a particular id in a page from <forward... shakeel_code wrote: > Hi, > > i have an html id in a jsp page <tr id="theId">....</tr>. > > i have, > <forward name="thisisdjsp.jsp"/> in my struts config.xml > > but i want to go directly to that id in the jsp page when the forward > happens. > > i also tried, > <forward name="thisisdjsp.jsp" id="theId"/> > > but it was of no help.... > > can anyone help me? I'm not sure if I understand what you want... Do you mean you want clicking on a link to scroll the page to a particular anchor, as with a URL ending in #someID? If so, that has nothing to do with Struts' <forward> config. HTML anchors are a client-side thing. They are defined in the HTML (usually with the 'anchor' (<a>) tag, though using an ID attribute on another element *might* work in XHTML). They are used by including the fragment identifier (#...) in a URL.
