Hi Wendy, yes my submit button is named submit. but when i tested using it i wasn't using javascript. ;) only the links are using javascript to set one hidden field on the form. i hard coded that value with the submit button. in all cases the hardcoded value or the value set via javascript is picked up by my action form. using the submit button the other two hidden fields are picked up as well. however, when using the links the other two hidden fields are not picked up. i haven't seen anything in the request or session variables regarding those fields either. i was printing them out inside my action which would get the request before the jsp. so that should work the same.

If so, JavaScript might get confused between 'submit' the form > element and 'submit()' the function.
