form submission problem
Hi,
I have a fairly new problem with one of my JSP's.
I recently changed to Tomcat 4.1.10, now all of a sudden, this one page doesn't work properly.
I try, using Javacript to set the value of a hidden <input type="hidden" name="action"> field when an <input type="image"> button is pushed, this part works fine, have checked the value after it is set.
However it is not passing the value through to the request. Instead when I do a request.getParameter("action") all I get is a blank String.
All my other pages that do this, are working fine. The tags are placed properly withink the form tags.
Has anyone else has a similar problem with just one page.
Any help would be appreciated
Regards
Steve

YEah it's strange
what even more strange, is that I do exactley the same thing in a number of
other pages, and it works fine.
In fact this page used to work also.
My Struts version hasn't changed, only the Tomcat Version.
Will keep battling on, hopefully I will find the problem. Will probably
ending kicking myself because of it's simplicity
Tnaks Anyway

RE: form submission problem
Posted by Andrew Hill <an...@gridnode.com>.
Is it a multipart form (multipart/form-data encoding) and the associated
action in which you are trying to read that parameter does not have an
ActionForm associated with it?
(Though I dont think thats your problem as in that situation you get a null
and not an empty string)
Hmmm...

Is that field located within the start and close of the form tag on the
page?
btw: naming your field "action" is naughty as it will shadow the action
property of the form object in JavaScript. (Though this wont hurt unless you

Thanks Miguel, that wasn't the problem, but thanks anyway.
As I suspected, the problem was very small and very simple, and I proceeded
to kick myself several times when I found it
So thanks Mugeul and Andrew for your help

You're using windows? There's a bug in 4.1.10. Update to 4.1.12 (there is a
security bug in earlier versions too).
