Re: html: tag four buttons, one action problem

[Folashade Adeyosoye]

I am currently doing the same my project...


here is it...

it involves using javascript to change the buttonAction

1. must have a hidden field buttonAction
2. each (Button) submit button must have a property
3. when you click on the button the JS is involked and the hidden
filed buttonAction is set and the form is submitted
4. in your Java class, get the value of the button, if task1, do
task1, if task2 do task 2


hope that helps

-----------------------------------------
<script language="javaScript">
function DoSomething(button)
{
  document.forms[0].buttonAction.value=button.value;
  document.forms[0].submit();
}
</script>

-----------------------------------------------------

<html:form action="doAnotherThing?action=addAnotherThing" >
  <html:hidden property="buttonAction"/>
 
        <p>
    <html:button 
      property="task1" 
      value="Add Property"   
      onclick="DoSomething(this);"
    />
                &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
          <html:button 
      property="task2" 
      value="Add Property/Sublease"  
      onclick="DoSomething(this);"
    />
                &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
    <html:reset>
      <bean:message key="button.reset"/>
    </html:reset>
    &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
    <html:cancel/>
    <%--
      <bean:message key="button.cancel"/>
    </html:cancel>
    --%>
        </p>
</html:form>
