Andy,
Sorry, I haven't been following your situation closely.
Have you looked into using Javascript to have the link trigger form
submission?
An example of what I am talking about can be found here:

hi Robert,
yes i've tried using javascript, but i must be doing something wrong.
i've tried two approaches. 1) i was calling a javascript function
that set the action for me and then submited the form. but the values
inside my hidden fields weren't getting picked up. 2) Wendy gave me a
Andy,
I don't have an answer but what I would try first is examining those
values on the client.
First do a view source on your generated HTML and make sure your values
are there.
Next in your Javascript after you've set any values but before you
submit your form (which should be last anyway) use

slightly different approach to try by calling the function and setting
the values of the hidden fields and then submitting. however, two of
the hidden fields are set upon arrival to the page by my action form.
but they are not being

Hi, Andrew:
If you are going to show HTML try the pre tag and change the HTML tags
with lt; and gt; instead of and .
What you are doing, Andrew, is not clear to me. You have talked about
using html:link instead of html:submit to submit a form. I have no
idea why you would ever think these

Andrew, could you restate what you are trying to do? Why are you using
JavaScript? My guess is there is a safer and sounder way to solve whatever
your problem is, if you merely are trying to submit a form with some issues
which are unknown to me around that.

Robert,
:) i'm a step ahead of you. my values do show up in the client side
html before submitting the form. and they show up in alert statements
upon submission. that is what is so puzzling. i'm seeing the data,
but when i set breakpoints in my actionform set methods, two of them
aren't
Hi Wendy,
yes my submit button is named submit. but when i tested using it i
wasn't using javascript. ;)
only the links are using javascript to set one hidden field on the
form. i hard coded that value with the submit button. in all cases
the hardcoded value or the value set via javascript is

The question, Andy, whatever your problem is, that Robert is posing is
whether form.field.value shows the data. Whether you are just
+1 on this.. Actually make that a +100..:)

Jim,
heh, i would prefer not to use javascript, but i couldn't think of
another way to submit the form with links. the form is a html:form
and all of the html components inside the form are Struts html
components. the link just has an onclick parameter in it that calls
the javascript. the

Hi Michael,
i agree, what i'm attempting is kindof goofy.
i'm trying to submit a form using a hyper-link instead of a submit
button. i have three links on the page that perform similar but
different actions. each link sets a value in a hidden field that
should be picked up by the actionform

yeah, i was attempting to use a DispatchAction class instead of just
single action classes for each event. so that parameter was the
appropriate method in the DispatchAction class.
i'm refactoring all that right now. using separate actions is easier
