I am having a problem with validating a html:select drop down. I think. The problem: after validation fails the JSP is blank (the browser is blank) not just an empty drop down. To be more specific...I load the page then without filling out any field I do a submit. It then does the javascript validation (I am only doing a required validation on one field at the moment) and displays the alert box. I click ok and then it appears the it then tries to do the server-side validation and fails. When it comes back instead of seeing the same page with the added validation messages rendered, it renders a blank screen. When I view source it shows the code prior to the html:javascript tag and then cuts off about 2/3 of the way through the validation JavaScript's. There is nothing to render after that.
I thought my problem was related to some of the posts about the drop down not repopulating because when I comment out the lines with the bean:define and html:options that it then comes back from the validation failure with the correct view (instead of blank as mentioned above). But of course the drop down is empty because I commented out the lines to populate it. I tried a few of those suggestion but could not get the page to display with those lines uncommented. One thing that may be worth mention is that I get the list for the drop down with a "public List getAdjustTypes()" on the form. I could use some help at this point (well I always need help) since my brain just short circuited about 20 minutes ago. Here is my code: ----------------------------------------------------------- The SP ----------------------------------------------------------------- <?xml version="1.0" encoding="windows-1252"?> <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd";> <%@ taglib uri="/WEB-INF/struts-tiles.tld" prefix="tiles" %> <%@ taglib uri="/WEB-INF/struts-html.tld" prefix="html" %> <%@ taglib uri="/WEB-INF/czee-tags.tld" prefix="cz" %> <%@ taglib uri="/WEB-INF/c.tld" prefix="c" %> <%@ taglib uri="/WEB-INF/struts-bean.tld" prefix="bean" %> <%@ taglib uri="/WEB-INF/struts-logic.tld" prefix="logic" %> <script language="JavaScript" src="<html:rewrite page='/pages/navbarUtils.js'/>"></script> <script language="JavaScript" src="<html:rewrite page='/pages/dt_select.js'/>" ></script> <script language="JavaScript"> function cancelAdjustment(form) { form.action='<html:rewrite page="/checkCancel.do" />';
