html:form/Submit question....
I have a form and my plan is to set all the fields (using DynaActionForm)
when an ok 'button' is pressed, the problem is, I'm not using a 'submit'
action to submit it, but an image, the code I have at the moment is:
<html:form action="/addNewScope">
..... lots of other code here
<a onclick ??? (What goes here) ????
onMouseOver="SwapImage('ok','../../images/button_ok_over.png');"
onMouseDown="SwapImage('ok','../../images/button_ok_click.png');"
onMouseOut="SwapImage('ok','../../images/button_ok.png');"
onMouseUp="SwapImage('ok','../../images/button_ok_over.png');">
<img name="ok" src="../../images/button_ok.png" border="0" width="42"
height="23">
</a>
..... more code here
</html:form>
basically, I want the action in the form (addNewScope) to be submited when I
do onclick (where the question marks are). I don't want to use Javascript,
I want call the action... I have done this before using <html:submit> but
this is not what I'm trying to achieve here.
I think I might be confused... :-/

Thanks Mark,
I stumbled upon the answer to my question by accident, yesterday, which made
me quite happy (must get out more)... :)

styleId will give you a hook if you need have a way of drilling to
something. But i'm guessing what your needs are.

the name of the form will be whatever you called it in struts config.
There was a name attribute in 1.0 but this became deprecated and now
must have been removed.
I imagine that something will be done in newer releases (perhaps
already) to support strict xhtml and thus do away with rendering
name="" and use id="" instead or as well as name="".
If you're trying to drill to the form in javascript best use
onclick="alert( this.form.elements['myproperty'].value )" ..
I you look at the rendered html you'll see that the name attribute is
rendered.

Why can't I name a form using html:form?
Posted by Leticia Golubov <lg...@micromuse.com>.
This is really winding me up...
why does <html:form method="post" action="/scopeAction" > work
but <html:form method="post" action="/scopeAction"
name="deleteForm"
type="org.apache.struts.action.DynaActionForm" >
doesn't?
Why can't I name my forms? I've looked at the documentation and the 'name'
field doesn't even seem to exist, which leads me to believe I can't name
forms using the html:form tag?!
Is this a bug in Struts or have I missed something fundamental here?

Yes, fair enough, but I should be able to refer to the form by name, surely?
Anyway, I got that working (and I am naming the form), thanks everyone for
the suggestions and help! :)

No you don't always need the name of the form.
If you're 100% sure you always have one form, something like
document.forms[0].submit should work fine.

What I understand from your message is that you want to have a 'dynamic'
image as a button. An image that changes when the cursor is on the button,
or not, which can't be achieved by HTML. The only solution I see is using
JavaScript. I don't see why you don't want to use javascript because you
use it to change the button's image.
Make something like
<a
onclick='JavaScript:document.forms[0].submit();' href='Javascrip:void(0);'

What I understand from your message is that you want to have a 'dynamic'
image as a button. An image that changes when the cursor is on the button,
or not, which can't be achieved by HTML. The only solution I see is using
JavaScript. I don't see why you don't want to use javascript because you

Make something like

Re: html:form/Submit question....
Posted by Thomas Cornet <th...@cornet.name>.
What I understand from your message is that you want to have a 'dynamic'
image as a button. An image that changes when the cursor is on the button,
or not, which can't be achieved by HTML. The only solution I see is using
JavaScript. I don't see why you don't want to use javascript because you
use it to change the button's image.
Make something like
<a
onclick='JavaScript:document.forms[0].submit();' href='Javascrip:void(0);'
onMouseOver.........>

Hmm. Didnt realise that the mouseover didnt work for an input image. Ouch!
Thats a bit of a spanner in the works. :-(
Looks like you need to use javascript submission after all if you want to
keep the mouseover.
Unless any of the other listmembers can see a way that Im missing?
What about having the mouseover attributes set in the parent element of the
input? (Havent tried it myself. Probably wont work.)

Hiya,
Yes, that works, but the input tag doesn't seem to support the onMouseOver,
etc...
so if I associate an input action with my image as below:
<input name="submit" type="image" src="../../images/button_ok.png" alt="Add
New Scope">
that does submit it correctly... but I can't seem to be able to use my
javascript functions here as onMouseOver, etc are not supported by the input
tag.
Of course the other solution would be to submit the form from a javascript
function but that's far less elegant than the current solution... Any
suggestions?
Andrew, thanks for pointing me in the right direction. :)

hehe sorry, couldnt resist ;->
Sounds like what your after is the <input type="image... tag (in struts you
can use <html:image...)
html:
http://webdesign.about.com/library/tags/bltags-inputimage.htm
struts tag:
http://jakarta.apache.org/struts/userGuide/struts-html.html#image
You will still need javascript to do the mouseover effects of course, but it
should degrade ok for users without js (they will still be able to click it
to submit).

I have a form and my plan is to set all the fields (using DynaActionForm)
when an ok 'button' is pressed, the problem is, I'm not using a 'submit'
action to submit it, but an image, the code I have at the moment is:
<html:form action="/addNewScope">
..... lots of other code here
<a onclick ??? (What goes here) ????
onMouseOver="SwapImage('ok','../../images/button_ok_over.png');"
onMouseDown="SwapImage('ok','../../images/button_ok_click.png');"
onMouseOut="SwapImage('ok','../../images/button_ok.png');"
onMouseUp="SwapImage('ok','../../images/button_ok_over.png');">
<img name="ok" src="../../images/button_ok.png" border="0" width="42"
height="23">
</a>
..... more code here
</html:form>
basically, I want the action in the form (addNewScope) to be submited when I
do onclick (where the question marks are). I don't want to use Javascript,
I want call the action... I have done this before using <html:submit> but
this is not what I'm trying to achieve here.
