Thank all of you for support.
Now, it it an off-topic question.
I am able to pass the fixed values using the
<html-el:hidden ....> tag. But, what is the
Javascript like to submit value of a text field in the
Struts context when a link is clicked.
It is difficult for me to get around the problem
because my link is an image.
<c:url value="/admin/sortUsers.do" var="ascFirstName">
<c:param name="sortKey" value="firstName" />
<c:param name="orderKey" value="ASC" />
<c:param name="searchFirstName"
value="${searchFirstName}" />
</c:url>
<A href=' <c:out value="${ascFirstName}" /> '>
<html-el:img page="/images/upArrow.gif" border="0"
alt="ascending" />
</A>
