RE: Submiting a form through a link
You don't need to use html:link because the link doesn't actually link to anything, it just triggers the form submission. The path to your action is actually in the html:form tag. The parameters that would normally be added to the URL are specified in the hidden fields. If that's still not clear it would help if you posted some of your code so I can better understand what you are trying to do.

Hello. I'm trying to submit a html:form through a html:link. When I click the link, on the onclick event, I call a javascript function and execute: document.forms[0].submit() Then nothing happens. Can someone send me a simple example (or a URL to it) of submiting a html:form through html:link?

RE: Submiting a form through a link
a href= onclick=document.forms[0].submit();return false;Click here/a (or the equivalent using Struts html:link tag.) html:form action=/path html:hidden property=action value=MyAction/ /html:form The above code works for me. Not sure if the return false; has any impact - probably does nothing. Do you have more than one form on the page? You might need to change the forms[] index number. You can also try using the form name (which is the same as defined in struts-config.xml) e.g. document.forms['testForm'].submit() If that doesn't work then please post more of your form link code. Steve p.s. Don't forget that if your users don't have javascript enabled then they won't be able to use this feature of your site. ;-) -Original Message- From: Cristiano Moreira Silva [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: June 28, 2003 12:02 PM To: Struts Users Mailing List Subject: Submiting a form through a link Hello.
