It doesn't have to do with your html input vs. button. It's because default form processing is turned off, the form model doesn't fire that it was changed, so the model doesn't go back to your getName() method to get it's value.
You can add this in your button onSubmit: getForm().modelChanged(); -- Jeremy Thomerson http://www.wickettraining.com On Wed, Dec 3, 2008 at 6:26 PM, tim532 <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Hopefully this is a simple question with a simple answer...
