Wendy, I'm referring to the 2nd case you mentioned, when the form has failed
validation. I do believe you have just answered my question.
Thanks

You haven't given us very much to go on. What do you expect reset to do?
What documentation did you read?
I don't use reset buttons, but I stuck an <html-el:reset> tag on the form
I'm working with. It just generated a plain-old HTML reset tag: <input
type="reset" value="Reset">
And reset has always been a client-side HTML thing. It resets the form to
what it looked like at the beginning of the request. So if you have a form
that failed validation and is re-presented with values, if you change a
value and click 'reset,' it will revert to the original value.
The only time it will blank out the form fields is, as you've noted, prior
to the first submit, when the fields were blank to begin with. This isn't a
Struts issue, it's the way it's always been with HTML forms.
Hope that helps, post again if I've totally misinterpreted what you were
after... it's been known to happen. ;)
