calling ACTION from SEARCH button, results displayed in new windo w

["Cook, Graham" <gr...@cgey.com>]

How do you go about calling an action from a SEARCH button on a JSP, and
passing in one of the JSP fields to the action in order to bring up a popup
window with data related to the field on the JSP. eg. like part of a name
that you want to search on?

I might be misunderstandig you, but I think that you are trying to solve the 
wrong problem.

In your search action check if the input was valid, and in case not you 
present a new page to the user on which she can choose the correct value.

If you insist on popup page, you have to solve it w/ javasript. In the js you 
provide the parameters to the uri you call.
