Is it a multipart form (multipart/form-data encoding) and the associated action in which you are trying to read that parameter does not have an ActionForm associated with it? (Though I dont think thats your problem as in that situation you get a null and not an empty string) Hmmm...

Just read it a second time and realised I didnt pay enough attention! "The tags are placed properly withink the form tags." -----Original Message----- From: Andrew Hill [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, September 25, 2002 13:42 To: Struts Users Mailing List Subject: RE: form submission problem Is that field located within the start and close of the form tag on the page? btw: naming your field "action" is naughty as it will shadow the action property of the form object in JavaScript. (Though this wont hurt unless you try accessing (for example to change) the form action in javascript - at which point it will give you your field action instead of the form property action!) -----Original Message----- From: Steve Vanspall [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, September 25, 2002 13:35 To: Struts User Mailing List Subject: form submission problem Hi, I have a fairly new problem with one of my JSP's. I recently changed to Tomcat 4.1.10, now all of a sudden, this one page doesn't work properly. I try, using Javacript to set the value of a hidden <input type="hidden" name="action"> field when an <input type="image"> button is pushed, this part works fine, have checked the value after it is set. However it is not passing the value through to the request. Instead when I do a request.getParameter("action") all I get is a blank String. All my other pages that do this, are working fine. The tags are placed properly withink the form tags. Has anyone else has a similar problem with just one page. Any help would be appreciated Regards Steve -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
