Re: Checkbox's question.
Here is modified code for CheckBoxTag. Maybe it could be usefull to other developpers as it enables unchecking checkboxes without having to write some reset() method for ActionForms. I worked on Struts 1.0 version of CheckBoxTag, what i modified : - added indexed tags support - added generation of hidden field Here is my new version for doStartTag() method : public int doStartTag() throws JspException { // Create an appropriate hidden element to put it before the input element // with value false. This will force to uncheck in the ActionForm if the checkbox // is not checked StringBuffer resultsHidden = new StringBuffer(input type=\hidden\); // Create an appropriate input element based on our parameters StringBuffer results = new StringBuffer(input type=\checkbox\); resultsHidden.append( name=\); results.append( name=\); // Indexed properties handling if (indexed != null) { IterateTag iterateTag = (IterateTag) findAncestorWithClass(this, IterateTag.class); if (iterateTag == null) { // this tag should only be nested in iteratetag, if it's not, throw exception JspException e = new JspException(messages.getMessage(indexed.noEnclosingIterate)); RequestUtils.saveException(pageContext, e); throw e; } if (name != null) { results.append(name); resultsHidden.append(name); } results.append([); results.append(iterateTag.getIndex()); results.append(]); resultsHidden.append([); resultsHidden.append(iterateTag.getIndex()); resultsHidden.append(]); if (name != null) { results.append(.); resultsHidden.append(.); } } // End of Indexed properties handling results.append(this.property); results.append(\); resultsHidden.append(this.property); resultsHidden.append(\ value=\false\ /); if (accesskey != null) { results.append( accesskey=\); results.append(accesskey); results.append(\); } if (tabindex != null) { results.append( tabindex=\); results.append(tabindex); results.append(\); } results.append( value=\); if (value == null) results.append(on); else results.append(value); results.append(\); Object result = RequestUtils.lookup(pageContext, name, property, null); if (result == null) result = ; if (!(result instanceof String)) result = result.toString(); String checked = (String) result; if (checked.equalsIgnoreCase(true) || checked.equalsIgnoreCase(yes) || checked.equalsIgnoreCase(on)) results.append( checked=\checked\); results.append(prepareEventHandlers()); results.append(prepareStyles()); results.append(); // Print this field to our output writer ResponseUtils.write(pageContext, results.toString() + resultsHidden.toString()); // Continue processing this page this.text = null; return (EVAL_BODY_TAG); } - Original Message - From: Barry L.

RE: Checkbox's question.
It's a consequence of the HTML standard. It does not represent unchecked checkboxes. You can hardly call it a bug of struts.

I found the problem too. It seems OK when you set the check box unchecked as defaut (openWindow=null;). but when you set it checked as default, each time you uncheck the box and submit. the value won't change, it still remained checked. In fact. the setOpenWindow(..) function has never been called when the box was unchecked. It is only called when the check box is checked. Any one knows what went wrong?

RE: Checkbox's question.
This was just an idea for an improvement to the CheckboxTag tag that would help cope with some HTML wierdness. What do the rest of you think? -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, December 17, 2001 11:28 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: Checkbox's question.

I was just thinking about this problem, too. I think this checkbox-in-request-only-when-checked anomaly should be handled with javascript like this: The checkbox jsp tag should create a hidden field named after the property, and a checkbox with some other name. When the checkbox is checked or unchecked, it should change the value of the hidden field with a generated line of javascript. This way, the controller doesn't have to know that the field is rendered as a checkbox (and do this special checkbox jig), and the field's value is only changed when the field exists in the request. So if another jsp doesn't have the checkbox at all, the value isn't touched.

All values from your formbean are sent in the request as parameters when you press submit - but checkbox values are only in this request if they have the value on = they are checked. If you use the reset method it should work in a correct way - values are first set to false by the reset method and then, if they are present i the request they receive value true, otherwise the have the value false. /Linnéa - Original Message - From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, December 17, 2001 7:07 PM Subject: RE: Checkbox's question. coincidentally, I was working on the check box today for the first time.

Re: Checkbox's question.
Hi!! I think it's a bug...
