hi
i have javascripts file validations.js. and i want to use these javascript
functions in my jsp pages which use struts html tags..
i don't know how to invoke these functions from <html:form...(struts html
tag).
if it is a ordinary html form i would have done like below
<form name="myform" action="xxxx.jsp" onsubmit="return validate()">
if i wrote the same with the struts html tag.....it is giving error the is
no attribute like "name" in html tag lib..
can any body tell me how to user external javascript functions in the struts
html tags

1. read the the struts developer documentation; it contains everything
you need to develop valid struts code!

2. read (and understand) the error messages struts gives you; the
error message above tells you that the form tag has no name attribute
and that's correct (goto 1.). But that has nothing to do with
javascript.

3. DON'T use javascript to validate your struts form. Use struts
validation instead! (goto 1.)

4. if you absolutely want to use javascript to validate your form data
then the onsubmit attribute is correct. (goto 1.)
