I think this is a result of browser confusion between an element named 'submit' (the element produced by an html:submit without a property attribute) and the function form.submit(); When using html:submit always specify a property. Then you can have a named request parameter to process.
Interestingly, if you use html:cancel you may not specify a property or it ceases to be cancel button (overriding validation). One can specify a value, but then that value appears on the button which is inconvenient for internationalized sites. We ended up using custom tags that create <button> elements that use onsubmit to add innerHTML to the form. The innerHTML added is a hidden input named with the Struts cancel property and given a value picked up in our parent action class and targeted to a list of common forward names: 'back' 'cancel' 'home' etc. Toby Steel -----Original Message----- From: Gary Bartlett [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, May 22, 2002 3:17 PM To: StrutsUser Maillist Subject: <html:submit> causes errors with javascript form submit Just curious - does anybody use the html:submit tag, or do folks generally just use the standard input type=submit tag. The reason I ask is that html:submit does not allow you to specify the name of the button - and as a result all buttons generated with that tag are named 'submit'. This has the effect of returning an error if you try to use javascript to submit your form (via this.form.submit() ) - which can be a real PITA to debug.
