I'm looking for something equivalent to option value=blah selectedblah/option I don't see mention of this in the online docs for the HTML taglib. This can be done by initializing the form-bean with the value you'd like to be selected by default. Very nice indeed.

Re: JavaScript -- use or not use???
Hello, On Sun, 6 Jan 2002 17:24:08 -0600 George White [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: This isn't exactly a struts question but I have seen comments about JavaScript often enough I was hoping someone could answer this very general question. The people I work use struts but are avoiding JavaScript because they say that some clients may have JavaScript functionality turned off on their browsers. I use I.E. 5.0 and cannot see where I can turn JavaScript off. Is this a valid concern (in other browsers such as Netscape, as well) and if so how/where can JavaScript be turned off? yes, it's an imo extreme valid concern: any validation on client side can be: - switched off or - doesn't work as expected (in different browsers), - or doesn't work at all (because the user chose a browser w/o javascript or simply use a screenreader... ) or - can be manipulated by the user (never trust the client). There will be more and more users who chose to switch it off with the tons and tons of javascript-related bugs in IE , or switch browsers, what makes javascript development harder. JavaScript as additional means to avoid resubmiting of clearly incorrect forms (like ones who lack a certain field) is a good thing, as long as it is compatible to different browsers - which is a harder task as it may seem at first with more sophisticated scripts - and if it is ultimately rechecked at the server. Because of the latter I think it is a waste of time using javascript while having a powerful scripting language like Java on the server. It only adds to complexity, adds extra problems and mostly very little extra comfort or performance. I haven't tried t yet, but the possibility to split a complex form in wizard style over multiple JSPs via a shared form-bean in Struts is a better way to go imo.

Re: Reload resources without restarting server
Hello, On Wed, 26 Dec 2001 10:35:43 -0600 Chen, Fang [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I am pretty new to Struts. I was reading the Walk Through of the struts example from the struts installation. In the document, it is said that You can even reload the configuration and message resources without restarting the container. See the end of the web.xml file for details. I do not know where I can find how to do this. Any help will be appreciated. Correct me if I'm wrong: At the end of the web.xml are some administrative urls. If they're active (I've commented them out just from the beginning, before I forget :-)) you can call: http://yourhost:yourport/yourapp/admin/reload.do to reload. I've tried it, it seems to work ok, now I've switched it off again :-) Bye, MM -- http://www.martinnet.de -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]

Do I have an error in my thinking? this is my observation, too. I think it would be great to be able to do the following (just an example): html:errors Dear Sir, Dear Lady, I'm so sorry, but you're too dumb to fill in the form correctly. Here's a list of your sins: html:errors multipleul/html:errors multiple html:errors list / html:errors multiple/ul/html:errors multiple Try harder. :-) /html:errors Bye, MM -- http://www.martinnet.de -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
