Okay, it's not a UI issue, it's a misunderstanding of how requests are
handled.
If the behavior you are looking for is to have a user fill out a form,
click submit, and then proceed to another screen, then you'll have to
set up things differently in your controller.xml file. Take a look at
how some of the other forms are set up, what request-maps they use, and
how the responses are set up.

Sorry, this one.

I'll need to see the request-map you have set up for the category event.

Hi Adrian
Got the following lines in categoryDetails.bsh
startDate = parameters.get("startDate");
System.out.println("-------> parameters length = " + parameters.size());
System.out.println("-------> startDate = " + startDate);
but unfornately the output is as follows:
-------> parameters length = 49
-------> startDate = null

The startDate input element will become a request parameter when the
form is posted. So, in bsh:
startDate = parameters.get("startDate");
// Do something with startDate

Hi
Forgive me, I am no UI person, but do need a little help here.
I have this little form, below, which captures a startDate. When
the button is pressed it redirects to the category page and will
then display products based on the startDate. In
categoryDetails.bsh I would like to access to this startDate, but
currently not sure if this is possible.
Any help would be appreciated.
Kind regards
