Ok, I tried the following which was using a input tag as normal: <input type="text" name="<%="value["+index.intValue()+"].value"%>" size="20" onblur="calculate(this.value, '<bean:write name="benefit" property="benMaxRange"/>', '<bean:write name="benefit" property="benMinRange"/>', '<bean:write name="benefit" property="benRange"/>', '<bean:write name="benefit" property="label"/>')"/>
The this.value parameter passes the correct value to my javascript function and I can submit it to the action class. However I now run into a issue when I try to load the data back into the form as I have lost all my values. They come back from the DB ok but are lost in creating the tag. I have also tried it with value="" in the input tag but then this does not submit the values correctly. So I had to take the value="" out to get it to submit correctly. If I had <html:text property="<%="benefits["+index.intValue()+"].value"%>" size="20" onblur="<%=jsFunction%>"/> then this brings back the correct value to display however then I am back at the problem I started with which is how to pass the value of the element to the JS function. Is there anyway I can pass <bean:write name="benefit" property="benMaxRange"/> as a parameter to a function into the <html:text tag onblur event> of struts without using the <bean define tag> -----Original Message----- From: Shoukat, Faisal Sent: 14 June 2006 11:51 To: 'Struts Users Mailing List' Subject: evaluating list backed action form value in javascript Hi, I am using a list backed action form and need some advice on how to get the value from the html:text box so I can do some logic with it in a javascript function. In my case I have the following: <html:text property="<%="benefits["+index.intValue()+"].value"%>" size="20" onblur="<%=jsFunction%>"/> My jsFunction is as follows: <bean:define id="jsFunction"> javascript:calculate('<%="benefits[" + index.intValue() + "].value"%>', '<bean:write name="benefit" property="benMaxRange"/>', '<bean:write name="benefit" property="benMinRange"/>', '<bean:write name="benefit" property="benRange"/>', '<bean:write name="benefit" property="label"/>') </bean:define> The problem I am having is how to get the actual value entered in the text box and pass this into the function (i.e 12000 instead of what is actually being sent which is <%="benefits[0].value"%>). So it would be the parameter <%="benefits[" + index.intValue() + "].value"%> of the calculate function.
