I do not believe that you are allowed to have nested forms in html (though
correct me if I'm wrong!).

Subject:  Problem with nested html:form



Hi,

i have two forms nested in the following way :

<html:form action="album.do">
<html:hidden property="action" value="deletePhotoList" />
<html:hidden property="forward" value='<%= actionForward %>' />
<html:hidden property="id" value='<%= album.getAlbumId() %>' />
<logic:iterate id="photo" name="album" property="photoList">
....
....
....
        <html:form action="movePhotoUp.do">
        <html:hidden property="action" value="movePhoto"/>
        <html:hidden property="direction" value="up"/>
        <html:hidden property="position" value='<%=
""+((Photo)photo).getPosition() %>'/>
        <html:image src="images/up.bmp" alt="Bild nach oben verschieben"/>
        </html:form>
....
....
</logic:iterate>
</html:form>

If I now press the inner Button the outer action "album.do"  with the property
action "deletePhotoList" is called instead of "movePhotoUp.do".
I have mapped album.do and movePhotoUp.do to the same formclass.

Can anybody help me ?

Thanx,

Marc

Struts doesn't have anything to do with it at this point; it's all up to
the client (e.g. browser).

The client eventually sends a request to an Action, and then Struts can
go to work again. 

The only option when HTML doesn't meet your needs is to move to an
applet.

This is definitely a challenge.  You can use a single form with multiple 
submits, each with a meaningful name.  The name will be sent with the 
request - use the name to select the appropriate action.

Hello Marc,

I think you can use such approach as -

<html:form name="albumForm" action="album.do">
<html:hidden name="albumForm" property="action" value="deletePhotoList" />
<html:hidden name="albumForm" property="forward" value='<%= actionForward %>' />
<html:hidden name="albumForm" property="id" value='<%= album.getAlbumId() %>' />
<logic:iterate id="photo" name="albumForm" property="photoList">
....
....
....
        <html:form name="movePhotoForm" action="movePhotoUp.do">
        <html:hidden name="movePhotoForm" property="action" value="movePhoto"/>
        <html:hidden name="movePhotoForm" property="direction" value="up"/>
        <html:hidden name="movePhotoForm" property="position" value='<%= ""+((Photo)photo).getPosition() %>'/>
        <html:image src="images/up.bmp" alt="Bild nach oben verschieben"/>
        </html:form>
....
....
</logic:iterate>
</html:form>

Insert direct references to the form object in tags and behavior of
your code will be more definitely.

But we need something like nested forms, because we have actions for a list
of objects and actions for a single one of these objects.

Do you have any idea how to realize it in an other way.
