Re: html:link + javascript. No solution

[Robert Egan <ju...@dnai.com>]

Hello Jishan,

Thank-you for response;but manually escaping the code does not help.

I looked into the jsp created servlet for the non struts program.

 <a href='javascript=submitForm("IE"<"outerBorderColor")'>Outer
Border</a>

This generates <a
href="javascript=submitForm(\"IE\",\"outerBorderColor\")'>Outer
Border</a>

I put this code in the struts app and get the same
"IllegalArgumentException"

I have no idea what this exception means. Possibly struts adding the
sessionId to the URL causes problems.

Does anyone have any other solutions???

Thanks

Robert Egan
