Re: HELP: Dispaly Date in a JSP that used Tiles

[Gareth Andrew]

You don't need to create an ActionForm, since the form is never going to 
be submitted, and you don't need to be able to access the form 
information outside of the current page. So just use plain html tags 
instead of the struts-html tags.

First, thanks a lot for your help.

I think indeed that this manner of making is better 
but I have a problem to set up it.
Because I must define a tag form. 
<form name="myForm">
   <input type="text" name="dateControl" size=30>
</form>

As I explained in my previous message I use Tiles all the
pages are composed of several modules header, menu, body and footer.
It is in the header module that I want to display the date,
for the moment the header.jsp page is the following:
<%@ taglib uri="/WEB-INF/tld/struts-bean.tld" prefix="bean" %>
<%@ taglib uri="/WEB-INF/tld/struts-html.tld" prefix="html" %>
<form name="MyForm">
<table border="0" width="100%" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
 <tr>
   <td width="40"  align="left">
		<bean:message key="label.project.version"/>		
   </td>
   <td width="80%" align="right">
    <html:text name="MyForm" property="dateControl" size="30"/>  
    <noscript><bean:message key="label.javascript.required"/></noscript>
   </td>
 </tr>
</table>
</form>

When I run the application I have an error no instance of MyForm
has been created.
I thus defined a DynaValidatorForm in struts-config.xml,and use the Struts
tag
<html:form name="MyForm">. But when I compile the application I have the
following
message "action is mandatory for tag form".
But I don't want to associate an action to this page.
How can I do ?
Thanks a lot in advance
Sandra

I think your problem has nothing to do with tiles or jsp.  You just need 
to write the output to a control instead of trying to write to the page.
If the browser were to allow your code to work as you have written it 
you would actually get a list of times.
The following code should work - it renders to a named textBox.

--------BEGINNING OF CODE SAMPLE --------------

<script type="text/javascript">
  function aff_heure() {
       var d=new Date()
       var weekdays=new 
Array("Sunday","Monday","Tuesday","Wednesday","Thursday","Friday","Saturday"
)
       var monthname=new 
Array("Jan","Feb","Mar","Apr","May","Jun","Jul","Aug","Sep","Oct","Nov","Dec
")

        var weekday=weekdays[d.getDay()]
        var date = d.getDate()
        var month = monthname[d.getMonth()]
       var year = d.getFullYear()
       var hour = d.getHours()
       var minute = d.getMinutes()
       var second = d.getSeconds()
    
        var time = new String(weekday + " " + date
                             + "." + month + " " + year
                             + ", " + hour + ":" + minute
                             + ":" + second)
        document.myForm.dateControl.value=time;

      
   setTimeout("aff_heure()",100);
  }
 
</script>

<form name="myForm">
   <input type="text" name="dateControl" size=30>
</form>
--------END OF CODE SAMPLE --------------

Hope this helps,

Gareth

PS.  You can also render to put your answer in other html objects such 
as spans and divs but if you're trying to make it work on as many 
browsers as possible that might be a bit of a headache.
PPS.  Why not use d.toGMTString() or d.toLocaleString() instead of 
trying to format the string yourself?
