The main part I'm having trouble with is keeping the association between the editable field name and the editable value, so if we start with
Phone1 : 555-12345 And the user changes the field name and value to be Fax : 555-12346 Getting the action to recognise that it should update the both values. This is part of porting an app to s2, and currently it's don using two input fields which include an id, so it's basically <input type="text" name="fieldname_<%=fieldId%>" value="phone1"> <input type="text" name="fieldvalue_<%=fieldId%>" value="555-12345"> Currently the servlet taking the input goes through the servlet request parameter map and when it finds a request parameter that starts with fieldname_ it gets the corresponding fieldvalue_ entry and updates the field record with the id. If there is a nice way I'd appreciate a pointer because at the moment it looks like we're going to have to use the same method of going through the parameter map which feels like it's a bit of a hack and makes unit testing a bit more tricky.

Well, I'm just one opinion :) It could still be done with the S2 tags if, say, you had a map of dynamic parameter names (or ids, etc.) and iterate over the map etc. It may depend more on how the dynamic parameters are defined or declared, etc. I think either way is acceptable, though (the map idea might be easier in some ways)... it just depends. d. ____________________________________________________________________________ ________You snooze, you lose.
