Re: Re: Why does work differently than

Andy,
I don't have an answer but what I would try first is examining those
values on the client.
First do a view source on your generated HTML and make sure your values
are there.
Next in your Javascript after you've set any values but before you
submit your form (which should be last anyway) use an "alert" command
(Example: alert("my value = " + form.field.value); ).
Hope this helps.

hi Robert,
yes i've tried using javascript, but i must be doing something wrong.
i've tried two approaches. 1) i was calling a javascript function
that set the action for me and then submited the form. but the values
inside my hidden fields weren't getting picked up. 2) Wendy gave me a
slightly different approach to try by calling the function and setting
the values of the hidden fields and then submitting. however, two of
the hidden fields are set upon arrival to the page by my action form.
but they are not being picked up when i leave.
all of this works flawlessly when using a submit button. :)

Andrew, could you restate what you are trying to do? Why are you using
JavaScript? My guess is there is a safer and sounder way to solve whatever
your problem is, if you merely are trying to submit a form with some issues
which are unknown to me around that.

The question, Andy, whatever your problem is, that Robert is posing is
whether "form.field.value" shows the data. Whether you are just seeing the
data is not relevant. I am getting bugged trying to figure out what in the
hay your problem could be to require this kind of a solution.

Robert,
:) i'm a step ahead of you. my values do show up in the client side
html before submitting the form. and they show up in alert statements
upon submission. that is what is so puzzling. i'm seeing the data,
but when i set breakpoints in my actionform set methods, two of them
aren't being called...
