Multiple Forms
Hi all, me again ;-)
Heres one. How do I handle an unknown number of forms. For example, lets say I
am outputting 5 records from a database. Each row needs to have a small form
to update a value fro that row. These updates are all the same, using the
same form and action, but sourcing different data.
I've tried having the same form on each row, but it appeared to store the
wrong value in the form bean when I hit submit. Usually the value from the
last form on the page seemed to be the one stored rather than the one I had
hit update on.
So I'm currently using the older html input controls without any forms. I'm
adding javascript code to each control to update a single form at the bottom
of the page which contains hidden elements. Each submit button then tells
this form to submit. This works ok, but it's messy and I'm sure there must be
a way to handle what is effectively an array of forms.
Any ideas ?

Use 1 ActionForm with a nested collection of beans for the rows
