Well, it is great that we are both right but it is still not working. I don't care about "foo", I was just trying to make my code simpler in the email. The actual code has two autocompleters like this:
<s:form id="mainForm" theme="simple" validate="false"> <s:url id="autosportsteam" action="LookupSportsTeam"/> <s:url id="autosportsorg" action="LookupSportsOrg"/> <div class="form-edit"> <s:autocompleter name="sportsTeam" id="sportsTeam" keyName="sportsTeamKey" theme="ajax" href="%{#autosportsteam}" cssStyle="width: 500px;" dropdownHeight="180"; loadMinimumCount="2" loadOnTextChange="true" autoComplete="false" showDownArrow="false" delay="100" searchType="substring" forceValidOption="true"/> <s:autocompleter name="sportsOrg" id="sportsOrg" keyName="sportsOrgKey" theme="ajax" href="%{#autosportsorg}" cssStyle="width: 450px;" dropdownHeight="170"; loadMinimumCount="2" loadOnTextChange="true" autoComplete="false" showDownArrow="false" searchType="substring" forceValidOption="true"/> </div> </s:form> In LookupSportsTeamAction I need the value of what was looked up in the sportsOrg field, but I can't seem to get it. My sportsOrg and sportsOrgKey variables are always null. Scott --- Dave Newton <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > --- Scott Nesbitt <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Not sure why it should be getBar().
