thanks for the advice. I just did that a couple of days ago and got it fixed. 
I noticed it was working from within an <html:form> and was not working from 
within a <form> tag... (which I put in while doing some other ajax stuff).

I replaced the <form.. tag with <html:form .. tag and it started working
fine..
I understand Struts needs <html:form.. tag to handle submit operations etc.
properly..

thanks,
robin
