Why not monitor the checkbox(es) with a JavaScript onClick() method and set a hidden variable that would be passed to your ActionForm?

For every JSP page 2 actions take place. The first action is used to populate the form bean and then control is passed to the JSP page. During this phase you can ignore reset and set your properties as you need them. The 2nd action is used to process the user's responses. This is where the reset() method is important to you. Per the HTML spec., unchecked boxes are not placed in the parameter list. Therefore, if the reset method did not uncheck your checkbox for you, then you would not have any way of determining if a user had uncheck any boxes. Hope this helps. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ian Beaumont" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Struts Users Mailing List" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday, February 13, 2002 10:41 AM Subject: Confused over check boxes > I've got a checkbox on a page.
