form.submit() issue with
I seem to have a issue using <html:button>'s onclick. My value of onclick is a javascript performing form.submit(), but I found out this is not working. However if I chang my button to <html:submit> then the javascript is working. Why this is the case? Thanks.

Thank you Martin on this information. This issue was resolved. Basically there was another error in my jsp that cause this issue. Now it is working fine. Simply put <html:button> does support form.submit() when correctly code in onclick.
I will however have another issue with sturts validator when using form.submit(), which I will initiate another topic.
Thanks.

To quote the doc
org.apache.struts.taglib.html.BaseHandlerTag
Base class for tags that render form elements capable of including
JavaScript event handlers and/or CSS Style attributes. This class does not
implement the doStartTag() or doEndTag() methods. Subclasses should provide
appropriate implementations of these.
the underlying base class class of SubmitButton is in fact
org.apache.struts.taglib.html.BaseHandlerTag which has an onClick event you
can use
then again why would your javascript function be calling
JavaScriptFunction()
{ form.submit(); }
when your submit logic is already processing the onClick event ?

What I really want to know is how to use <html:button> and still using onclick to call javascript to submit the form.
Martin Gainty <mg...@hotmail.com> wrote:Good Morning Carl
excerpted from Craig:
The challenge with doing this is that the JSP tags run on the server (as the
page is being generated), while the JavaScript runs on the client side. To
integrate the two, you need your tags (and other JSP code) to dynamically
generate the JavaScript functions themselves -- sort of having a program
write a program -- so that the JavaScript is customized to your particular
need on this particular page.
A very trivial example is the way that the tag deals with the
"focus" attribute. If you specify it, a dynamically generated bit of
JavaScript is created to set the input focus, which includes the name of the
field you want initial focus assigned to.
html:submit (submit button class) is derived from same parent as html:form
(javax.servlet.jsp.tagext.TagSupport)
so the characteristic of a server side Tag class(dynamically) generating
JavaScript holds true
Does this answer your question?

Good Morning Carl
excerpted from Craig:
The challenge with doing this is that the JSP tags run on the server (as the

Have you put *submit()* correctly? It works:
<html:button onclick="document.forms[0].submit();" />
