RE: Submit Using html:link and html:javascript
If anyone is interested, I figured this out. Of course this is a basic JavaScript problem so I understand not getting a response on the Struts list. Never the less, I feel that it pertains enough for a solution to be submitted. onSubmit is not called if you use JavaScript to submit a form. Rather, you must call it yourself. So an html:link that submits a form, and used the Struts Validator client side JavaScript might look like: html:link href=# onclick=javascript:if (document.forms[0].onsubmit())document.forms[0].submit() Submit bean:write name=project property=title / /html:link Kurt Madel Programmer, CSMi (703) 823-4300 ext. 170 -Original Message- From: Madel,Kurt [mailto:kmadel;csmi.com] Sent: Thursday, October 24, 2002 9:55 AM To: 'Struts Users Mailing List' Subject: Submit Using html:link and html:javascript This may seem somewhat trivial.

RE: Submit Using html:link and html:javascript
Yes, I suppose so but the powers beyond me like the way they look. On the plus side, you can then use a link for cancel that href's an action. Also, this would work well if you wanted to use an image for submit purposes.

RE: Submit Using html:link and html:javascript
Is there a struts tags for an input image?
Assuming you mean a SUBMIT button with an image on it instead of text,
here's what I'm using:
html-el:submit property=submit onclick=setAction('Add Prospect');
styleClass=addButton titleKey=button.add.prospect value= /
And here's the style that goes with it:
.addButton {
background-image:url(images/add.gif);
background-position:center;
background-repeat:no-repeat;
background-color:lt grey
}
The setAction javascript is necessary because you can't have a value
without the text appearing on the button. (Or, I couldn't figure out how.)
So I put a value into the hidden 'action' form field and then use that in a
LookupDispatchAction:
function setAction(target) {document.forms[0].action.value=target;}
It took a long time to piece all this together. Hope it helps someone else!
