I did consider using a single form bean for both forms, but it didn't really sit well with me from a design stand point. We have two different forms doing two different things so there should be two different beans. Heck, if I had it my way, the two forms would be on separate pages (wizard style), but the customer says otherwise.
I do have an issue with using a single form. The top list is a list of program ids. When a program id is selected, it brings up all the different sheets for that program id. The user can then select a sheet to edit, via radio button, and submit that request. With this request, I need to pass the program id that was selected (via hidden field). I can't rely on the program id in the drop down box because if a user performs a search, changes the drop down box and then selects a sheet to edit, we have a mismatch between the intended program id to edit and the actual program id to edit (if that makes any sense). ~ Andrew Tomaka On 7/7/05, Wendy Smoak <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > From: "Andrew Tomaka" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > > > My problem is that I have a "PreAction" to do the processing on the > > form.
