Ray, I am doing that part. The problem is that I want that value to be available to the child's Action class ** as the child window is opening **. I am expecting it to be on the form, but the value in the form is null even though the value is successfully set on the child.
How can I get Struts to set the value of this field on the form? There has to be a way because I've noticed in Struts that if you have a field defined on your JSP with no corresponding get/set methods on the Form, an exception is thrown when the window is opening. So Struts has to be doing some sort of validation between the JSP's form and the form class at window open time, but it doesn't seem to be setting the data. --- Ray Madigan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > yes! > > if you are usine javascript you can do something > like the following. > > in the parent create a hidden field > > <html:hidden name="foo"/> > > when the user submits the form have the onclick > javacsript function > run that sets the document.forms[0].foo.value = xxx; > > where xxx is the path to the value in the child > window. > > > -----Original Message----- > From: ROSSEL Olivier > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Tuesday, March 04, 2003 9:11 AM > To: 'Struts Users Mailing List' > Subject: RE: [OT] JavaScript: ActionForm Does Not > Contain Dynamically > Set Data > > > > > I have a web page (the "parent") that opens a > child > > > window using javascript.
