I'm a newbie at this so if Im off base ignore me and go on, but.... the ORIGINAL problem was: "The problem is that when I click on that link, it re-loads the page, and sets the defaults again. It does not take the new values for the radio buttons(I have three parms in my page)"
If I understand correctly he has links on the page that call his action. He IS NOT SUBMITTING THE FORM. I've not tried this but when he does not submit the form he does not send the values from his page back he just goes to the action and gets a new form with the defaults again. So if somebody has changed the values from the defaults those changes get lost. I think he has to submit the form or he is just doing navigation. --- "Alawadhi, Mona" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Thank you very much, Brandon. > > -----Original Message----- > From: Brandon Goodin [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Monday, June 02, 2003 3:14 PM > To: Struts Users Mailing List > Subject: RE: first time action > > > I can already see what your problem is.
