Hi Jeff, thank you but my problem is that I just don't understand the examples. I'm sure they are excellent but they do much more (as far I understand them) than I need.
Could you please write me which example is the best for me? When I look to the example below I don't understand what field[0], field-indexed[0], field-test[0] and indexedListProperty mean and it is for me difficult to adopt something I don't understand. <form name="dependentlistForm"> <field property="firstName" indexedListProperty="dependents" depends="requiredif"> <arg0 key="dependentlistForm.firstName.label"/> <var> <var-name>field[0]</var-name> <var-value>lastName</var-value> </var> <var> <var-name>field-indexed[0]</var-name> <var-value>true</var-value> </var> <var> <var-name>field-test[0]</var-name> <var-value>NOTNULL</var-value> </var> </field> ... </form> On Mon, 2003-02-24 at 13:55, Jeff Kyser wrote: > Zsolt, > > There is a nice description of exactly what you want to do > on the Struts web pages.
