Different tags do different things so I'm afraid you have to look at the documentation for a tag to see just what it does. This one was written for the purpose of allowing you to use the result of an action in the page you are currently rendering.

Can you explain why that all shows up on one page and doesn't take me to a different page? My best assumption on how Struts works is that when I'm at index.jsp I call the action ActionTag which on a success displays the snippet.jsp page on the index.jsp page. Brian E.
