Yes, I am referencing 0 and 1 because I am running both forms on the same
page (simultaneously).
The 0 is for the struts form and the 1 is for the non-struts form.
I can programmatically, submit no problem on the non-struts form but not on
the struts form.
The struts form tag in the generated html looks like this:
<form name="personalInfoForm" method="POST"
action="/LAPS1/VirtualClassroomWAR/editPersonalInfo.do" id="form1">
the non-struts form looks like this:
<form id=f1>
Because I can submit the second form using the index 1, this means that the
page recognizes that there is something in position 0, but that it seems
that it has somehow been rendered in such a way that it can't be
programmatically submitted using javascript.
I have also tried using the form name instead of the index and the results
are the same.
What has struts done to my form to make it not work? I don't know....
Has anyone else out there been able to make this work?
Thanks,
Michelle
