This one is scheduled for a tips page someplace. I'm adding it to my site, but Struts home page should have one... anyways, onto the real topic....
As you already know, the dot notation is getting in the way and messing up JavaScript document object model. For the field you want, use... document.forms[0]["address.number"] ...so to alert it's value... document.forms[0]["address.number"].value ...to pull focus... document.forms[0]["address.number"].focus() You get the idea. All it needs is a string. So the following is the same and makes things handy... var myVar = "addrss.number" document.forms[0][myVar] And naturally you can access and field in this way to make your scripts run on a standard. Implications: none. it's cross browser. So go play :) Arron.
