Hi Gurus, please help Scenario:By pass the validation when cancel button is click. I have a start.jsp that has a text field required to be filled and 2 buttons Cancel and submit. The submit button is click I forward it to finish.jsp but if the cancel button is click then go to welcome.jsp. Right now if the text field is filled then it go to finished.jsp if it is not filled then error msg will post next to it. However, when I click the Cancel button - type button, it requires text field has to be filled but I want to by pass the validation (why I have to fill up the field when I click the cancel button?)
I have a validation.xml file like this: <form name="incomingSecretDocumentForm"> <field property="sentTo" depends="required,maxlength"> <arg0 key="document.sent.to.field.name" /> <arg1 name="maxlength" key="${var:maxlength}" resource="false" /> <var> <var-name>maxlength</var-name> <var-value>24</var-value> </var> </field> </form> And the start.jsp like this: <tr> <td align="right" class="FormElementText"> <bean:message key="document.serial.number.field.name" />: </td> <td align="left"> <html:text property="serialNum" styleClass="FormElements" maxlength="10" /> <BR> <html:errors property="serialNum" header="empty" prefix="errors.form.prefix" suffix="errors.form.suffix" /> </td> </tr> and the 2 buttons - Cancel is button type, other is Submit type like this: <td align="center"> <html:button property="buttonName" styleClass="button" value="Cancel" /> <html:submit styleClass="button" property="buttonName"> <bean:message key="document.button.save.next"/> </html:submit> </td> Please help many thanks -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Please-help%2C-donot-validate-a-field-when-cancel-button-is-click-tf4142663.html#a11784192 Sent from the Struts - Dev mailing list archive at Nabble.com. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
