Thanks for your comments everybody.... I fiiiiiinally found the answer :)
I'm still using the DynaValidatorForm, and basically just had to do what
Laurie recommended in her 2nd point.
I just need to check for messages on the JSP page using the messagesPresent
logic tag... ie:
<logic:messagesPresent>
<script>
setTimeout('self.scrollBy(0,500)', 300);
</script>
</logic:messagesPresent>
Using "document.location" would cause an infinite loop, so I basically
needed to scroll down the page using a timeout.
*Phew... Struts has so many crazy tags, I learn new ones every day :D
Thank to all that helped, and let me know if you have any
suggestions/questions.
Thanks !
