I thought there was something slightly awry in your thinking. I guess that's where examples really do help. Good luck with it, Adam On 10/09/2003 03:15 AM Cornellious Mann wrote: Adam, I missed the point about adding the index to the input field name. I was simply naming the field the same thi

Adam, I missed the point about adding the index to the input field name. I was simply naming the field the same thing. It actually worked, but it worried me. Thansk for all of the help! :) --- Adam Hardy <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > They're indexed! 0 becomes 0, 1 becomes 1 etc., i.e. > the o

I guess my question about order was more of HTML/submit question than a question about arrays. I just want to guarantee that the order of the values being sumitted stay in the order they are on the page. I was simply giving every input field the same name such as "product" and catching the values

They're indexed! 0 becomes 0, 1 becomes 1 etc., i.e. the order they went out with remains the same when they come back in. I think you must be missing the point here somewhere On 10/08/2003 10:34 PM Cornellious Mann wrote: This worked. :) Do you know if the order is guaranteed? From my tes

This worked. :) Do you know if the order is guaranteed? From my testing it looks like the values appear in the array in the same order the parameters in the URL line. --- Adam Hardy <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Yes, but because they're indexed, you will see the > result as an array. > > On 10/0

Yes, but because they're indexed, you will see the result as an array. On 10/08/2003 07:45 PM Cornellious Mann wrote: I'm not sure about one thing though. If I name all of my inputs on the HTML page the same name, when I submit the form, won't only one of the inputs be passed along? --- Adam Hard

I think I see what you mean. If all you want is a list of product Id's and the number of units per id, then your priority is to use indexed properties, rather than DynaForm or normal Form. If you are using indexed properties, you just name the field one name, e.g. productId, and the indexing gi

Currently, we are a stateless application. So on each request we will read the database and get a list of products. Then our JSP will generate a from a list of products. Each product will have an input that can accept the number of units per product. The problem I have is that each input field

Yes you can have indexed properties & dynaforms. I do not use them, I prefer nested properties. But I think the docs are quite good on this topic. Re: your problem, I was just asking about categories because I have no concept of how your database stores your products. Looking at your database

All we have is a product ID. There is no category. How do you think category could help? Also, have you used an indexed property and DynaForm? --- Adam Hardy <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Still it depends. How does the database handle the > new products? Can you > at least categorise them? > >

Unfortunately, products can be added at runtime and therefore I don't know what the full set is. From the research I have done it sounds like ActionForms can not handle this situation and I will need to handle it myself in the Action. Do you agree? --- Adam Hardy <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > H

Hi Cornellious, it depends whether you know beforehand what the full set of possible fields could be, or whether the fields themselves are not limited in name or type. If the former, then it would be easy to make a form that defined them all, and to use logic tags to display the needed fields o
