RE: Action without FormBean
Yes, you *must* have a name attribute if you are going to use an html:form. Here's a snippet from the docs for html:form If the name and type attributes are not specified, then the form bean will be located, and created if necessary, based on the form bean specification for the associated ActionMapping By the way, this is the default operation since name and type are deprecated.

RE: Action without FormBean
IMHO, using graphics for buttons is usually a bad idea. Users are used to seeing a normal button so they can visually find it faster. Also, I have more confidence in a site that uses normal submit buttons rather than graphics. With CSS capabilities you can customize submit buttons' look without using graphics.

RE: Action without FormBean
I don't know if it helps but I have used collections not in a form in order to make a table similar to the one you show below: I Put the object containing the collection (i.e. an ArrayList) in the session scope then have the jsp use the nested:iterate tag to show each item of the collection as a row in a table. Use nested:link to make the [view] and [delete] activate what you need for that row. Doing it this way the jsp has no form tags on it at all: JSP---SNIP--- table nested:root name=Query nested:iterate property=queryResults row:row oddStyleClass=TableRowOdd evenStyleClass=TableRowEven tdnested:link page=/showCatalog.do property=ParameterMapnested:write property=RECID //nested:link/td tdnested:write property=NAME //td nested:match property=INSTOCK value=Y tdnested:link page=/showMerchandiseOnline.do paramId=merchandise paramProperty=RECIDView/nested:link/td /nested:match nested:match property=INSTOCK value=N tdNot Available/td /nested:match /row:row /nested:iterate /nested:root /table ---SNIP--- The struts.config action definition then doesn't need any form stuff either: action path=/showMerchandiseOnline type=com.scro.controller.showMerchandiseOnlineAction forward name=view_failed path=/fail.html/ /action - Jim Piper -Original Message- From: Chen, Gin [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, February 26, 2003 1:24 PM To: 'Struts Users Mailing List' Subject: RE: Action without FormBean Thanks David.

RE: Action without FormBean
Good, sounds like you've got a good start. Let us know if you need further assistance. -- James Mitchell Software Engineer/Struts Evangelist -Original Message- From: Chen, Gin [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: mercredi 26 février 2003 14:57 To: 'Struts Users Mailing List' Subject: RE: Action without FormBean Yea JavaScript is the only way to go right now. I invoke a javascript function to populate hidden fields during the onclick. If you have a better id (other than going away from struts for this page :-/) plz let me know. -Tim -Original Message- From: James Mitchell [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, February 26, 2003 2:00 PM To: 'Struts Users Mailing List' Subject: RE: Action without FormBean Ok, assuming the number of rows are not known, how do you plan to deal with: 1. Which id they picked 2. Whether they hit edit or delete for the id they picked This can be easily accomplished with a little JavaScript, but I'm not sure if you want to (or can) go that route. -- James Mitchell Software Engineer/Struts Evangelist -Original Message- From: Chen, Gin [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: mercredi 26 février 2003 13:49 To: 'Struts Users Mailing List' Subject: RE: Action without FormBean Hi James, I did use links before.

That's what I figured. Unfortunately it just seems like an unnecessary step sometimes. For example I have a collection that is returned to me and I show it as such x [View] [Delete] x [View] [Delete] x [View] [Delete] x [View] [Delete] To set this up using struts i have to make a form bean that is simply a container for my collection Cant do this with dynaform cause it doesnt handle collections :[ Is there a better way to do this?

RE: Action without FormBean
