I think part of the problem is that Akshay had not stated his terms completely, which prompted us to wildy throw solutions to an undefined problem at him. So with that, Akshay, what specifically do you need to do? Dynamically/Statically set a value before form submission? Where does the value come from? Server side? Client side? What software are you using (Tomcat, Ajax [which library], struts version)?

I'm confused, as long as the "property" attribute of your <html:XXX> tags match the appropriate methods in the bean, you get it for free. I.e., Struts uses reflection to find the name of the setter methods on the bean and calls them when the form is submitted. Monkeyden also just mentioned another way. Just know that anyone can see your hidden fields with the right browser - Firefox has that feature built in - so they're not really secret and thus, you should probably also at least use server-side validation to keep these values from being manipulated into an invalid value by an unfriendly user. -Adam -----Original Message----- From: Akshay Ahooja [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, 13 July 2006 10:55 To: Struts Users Mailing List Subject: Re: Calling a struts action from Javascript Hmm ok that makes sense and the form submits.. The problem is I need to store some values in the Bean before/while I submit the form. Is there anyway to store the value in the bean so when teh form submits it stores the needed values. I tried using <html:form action="actionname.do?id=<%=variable%>" but it does not work out....
