If you're using the AjaxLink - it is doing a round trip to the server. The problem is, the round trip does not include the form values - because it was a link - not a form submission.
So, you have two options: 1 - don't use an ajax link - just use a webmarkupcontainer as your "a" tag and add the onclick yourself, using javascript like you would on a plain html page 2 - use an ajaxsubmitlink and do the processing server side I'd use #2. Why didn't you want to submit the form? The user won't be able to tell the form was submitted - especially if you skip validation by setDefaultFormProcessing(false) on your ajaxsubmitlink -- Jeremy Thomerson http://www.wickettraining.com On Mon, Feb 23, 2009 at 11:17 AM, mallet <ryanlahue...@gmail.com> wrote: > > Hello, I have been trying for some time to figure this out but no luck. > Some > other posts suggest using a submit rather than an AjaxLink, but that will > not work for me.
