Not sure I completely understand but it sounds like is what you're looking for. It rewrites a URI and writes the output directly into your page. For example, I have in my code: ')"> So when this button is pushed, the JavaScript detail() function is called with the correct URI for the detail_window action passed as a parameter. Devon

I want to do a POST and I want to be able to set the TARGET attribute for the FORM before posting as well. I want to set the form's ACTION attribute to that value. But I have multiple values that the form's ACTION attribute might get set to and so I have to do it in Javascript based on which button the user clicked on. The html:base looks like will calc the right absolute URL and I could create one for each button. But I'd have to make them invisible (since I don't want to the user clicking on them) and then have some way to get at their HREF attribute value. In theory that may be possible using DOM calls from Javascript if I set ID values for each A HREF element. But that's limit what browser versions could be used. So I'd rather have the values be placed in invisible controls by the server when it generates the page.

Please
respond to
struts-user
I've seen Craig posted how something like
will get translated to
But I need to create a context-sensitive URL in Javascript. The reason for
this is that
there are multiple buttons on my form/page and in the action handler
function for
each button I need to set the form's action to the appropriate action for
that button
click before submitting the form.
So I think I want a way to do get at info in Javascript that is the
equivalent of what is
returned by javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest req.getContextPath()
So that something like this can be done in Javascript
this.form.action = contextPath + "/graphs/fullgraph.jsp"
(or .do instead of .jsp or whatever)
So is there some way with a Struts tag to put the context path on the
generated
page using perhaps an invisible control that would be set to have the
context path as
its value? Then one could assign the invisible control's value for the the
context path
to a Javascript variable and use it in something like the code snippet
above.
I also need to do some other stuff in the Javacsript (eg set the target
attribute of the
form tag using a generated value as well). So I think I really need to use
Javascript to
do this.
Or am I approaching the problem in a way that is totally wrong?
