But I don't always want "/app/fdd/shopWorkOrder/fromCreateShopWorkOrder" to be my action all the time. I want the action for the form to be "dynamic" and depends on the form field "whichAction". That's why I created the javascript function submitForm(frm) to pick the action "dynamically". In other words, I have <action mapping> in my struts-config.xml file for both path "/app/fdd/shopWorkOrder/fromCreateShopWorkOrder" and "/app/fdd/shopWorkOrder/fromUpdateShopWorkOrder". But I want whichever one to be chosen to be "dynamically". So how I do that all within the <html:form> tag? --- Hubert Rabago <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I never said anything close to what you're asking me. > All I said is choose one of your two possible outcomes (doesn't matter > which > one), take the path that you gave it in the struts-config.xml, then use > that > in your <html:form>. > Let's say you have the ff entry in your struts-config: > > <action path="/fromCreateShopWorkOrder" ... > name="theForm"> > <forward .../> > </action> > > then in your html:form, specify that action: > > <html:form action="/fromCreateShopWorkOrder" > method="post" > onsubmit="return submitForm(document.theForm)"> > ... > </html:form> > > You do have <action>'s associated with fromCreateShopWorkOrder and > fromUpdateShopWorkOrder, right? > > - Hubert > > > --- "Au-Yeung, Stella H" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Hubert: > > Can you elaborate that....
