Re: html:select onchange
Thank you very much for your post. I agree with you and some user were complaining about the effect your mentioned. My situition is that I have two selects, once the users update one, I need to populate the other with correspondent options. If I do not go to another page, what is the best way to do? WOuld you please give me some hits? THanks, again. --- Wendy Smoak [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: From: Tony Smith [EMAIL PROTECTED] html:select name=myform property=myfield onchange=location.href='mynewpage.do?para=XX' ... /html:select http://www.javascriptkit.com/jsref/select.shtml onChange=location.href='mynewpage.do?para='+options[selectedIndex].value; Keep in mind that this can be *very* annoying in terms of UI design.

Not long ago I would have said your two options were to submit the form and re-display it with the new contents in the second select list, or else put everything in the page and make the changes with client side scripting. But now, there's AJAX, and you can replace individual parts of the page seemingly by magic. Someone who actually knows how it works will have to comment, but you can take a look at Frank's Java Web Parts project for an example: http://javawebparts.sourceforge.net/ I don't quite see how you'd ask the Struts framework to render just one html:select tag without letting it process the entire page so it would have the information from the enclosing html:form tag. FWIW, my original suggestion can be reduced to: onChange='mynewpage.do?para='+value; -- Wendy Smoak - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
RE: html:select onchange question
I got it. The form bean referred to in the stmtDetail.do (DetailForm)is a
different one than where the selMtr property lives (HeaderForm), and I just
had to loop through a mapping that took me through the HeaderForm first.

Subject: html:select onchange question
I have read most of the archived messsages on this subject, and I am still
left with questions. Here is my basic problem: When I change the value of
the SELECT by selecting a new option, I expect the new value to be set in
the form bean. I then want to be able to retrieve the value from the form
bean to pass as a parameter to a method in another action class. I am doing
this instead of request.getParameter('xxx') just as a matter of preference
to keep everything in the form beans. Here is the code from the jsp:
html:form action=stmtDetail.do?method=getStmtDetail
html:select name=HeaderForm property=selMtr
onchange=submit()
html:option value=0Current Costs/html:option
html:optionsCollection name=HeaderForm property=stmts
label=fullDate
value=batchNo /
/html:select
/html:form
From the debug statements in my stmtDetail.do action class, where I call a
getSelMtr() on the appropriate form bean, no value is passed. Apparently
the submit() just triggers the stmtDetail.do before the changed value gets
set in the HeaderForm???
So what is the solution?
