I believe the question is How do I use an action with the html:form tag when the mapping does not specify a form bean.
The answer is, you can't; the next best thing being to declare an empty, utility ActionForm to use in this cicumstance. Where it comes up is when people want to use html:buttons and what not to activate hyperlinks or JavaScripts. A html:link would work as well here, but some people like the look of a button. Even when URL encoding is not an issue, the Struts buttons can be easier to localize, et cetera. -- Ted Husted, Husted dot Com, Fairport NY USA. -- Java Web Development with Struts. -- Tel +1 585 737-3463. -- Web http://www.husted.com/struts/ Mark Woon wrote: > > Ditto.
