If the sole purpose of your link is to call the client side javascript function submit() do you really need to use <html:link> ? It ads no functionality for you and just wastes server side processing time converting the <html:link> tag to the final output <a href="">.
<html:link/> is hugely useful to automagically manage non-cookie sessions by adding session ids to your URLs but in this case you're not using that ability as you are just calling some javascript. I'd just use <a href="#" onclick="submit()"> If anyone has a reason why this would be bad, please let me know.... -----Original Message----- From: Jaakko Rytinki [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 16 March 2004 15:31 To: Struts Users Mailing List Subject: Tiles and html:link onclick=submit() I've noticed an annoying feature using <html:link page="#" onclick="submit();"> someText </html:link>. It does one of the following: a) It tries to search the page /somePage.jsp# or b) submits the form and continues to the right page, where my action forward points. Because the only JSP-pages I have is just index.jsp, which just checks the users role and redirects to right XYZlayout.jsp. XYZlayout.jsp is also a complete JSP-page, but if the user is not in the right role, container based authentication prevents the page from being retrieved. Also in the most cases the XYZlayout.jsp requires some parameters, so a forward action must be called before continuing to that page. I've solved this problem, by replacing the actual links by <td onclick="submit();"> someText </td> And using some style definition the look and feel are almost exactly the same as when using html:link. Anyway I was just wondering if someone else has encountered the same kind of problem and are there any work-arounds for this issue? The same problem occurs with both IE and Opera. -- One more question: Is it possible to use <form-property name="strings" type="java.lang.String[]" /> for set of html:text areas? For example if I iterate through a collection of strings, <logic:iterate id="aString" property="stringArray"> <html:text property="strings" indexed="true" value="${aString}" /> </logic:iterate> can I retrieve them by using DynaActionForm dynaForm = (DynaActionForm) form; String[] strings = dynaForm.get("strings"); -- Jaakko Rytinki --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
