how to dynamically change form in a tag

[Bill Page <Bi...@DigitalGarden.com>]

I can't seem to change the action on an <html:form> dynamically


I have this:
        <html:form action="/AccountMaint">

I want to use
        <html:form action="/AccountMaint">
	or
        <html:form action="/CreateAccount">

I tried to use an if around it
<%
if( something) {
%>
        <html:form action="/AccountMaint">
<%
}
else {
%>
        <html:form action="/CreateAccount">
<%
}
%>

but the parser complained
Parse Error in JSP page: The page '/custom/docs/AccountMaint.jsp' did not
close the '__tag_form_4' tag. allaire.jrun.jsp.ParseException: The page
'/custom/docs/AccountMaint.jsp' did not close the '__tag_form_4' tag. 

put the same if structure at the end to include two </htm:form> tags (both
the same) and got

Parse Error in JSP page: The page '/custom/docs/AccountMaint.jsp' did not
close the '__tag_form_3' tag. allaire.jrun.jsp.ParseException: The page
'/custom/docs/AccountMaint.jsp' did not close the '__tag_form_3' tag.

Re: how to dynamically change form in a tag

JSP Tags use an XML syntax, so you must have the same number of opening and
closing "html:form" jsp tags in your jsp. This is why your JSP engine
failed.

acording to struts-form.tld, action attribute in html:form tag can be JSP
computed. Try this:

<%
    String actionPath;
    if( something) {
        actionPath =" /AccountMaint";
    }
    else {
        actionPath =" /CreateAccount";
    }
%>


<html:form action="<%= actionPath %>">

...

</html:form>
