Javascript and struts submit action Lookup Dispatcher Problem

[sancha]

Hi,
i am in a bit of a delima here.
I need to submit an action through javascript
so i used

document.forms[0].action='/search.do?&submitaction=Add Minus'
document.forms[0].submit();


since i am working on struts then submitaction maps to through the
action dispatcher.

so where the action is mapperd as Add Minus
it goes as Add%20%Minus because of the way i submitted. Is there any
way i can make it go as Add Minus Please help

Thanx in advance
Sandip

Hi,

FIrstly:
document.forms[0].action='/search.do?&submitaction=Add Minus'
is wrong.

document.forms[0].action='/search.do?&submitaction=Add+Minus'
would be better.

But i would suggest another field in your form, call it submitaction, and
make it hidden.
Set the value for the hdeen field submitaction, and then just submit.

You are sending information by BOTH the Querystring and the POST.
Very confusing, at least for me, and probably for a few webservers too.

The problem lies in my ignorance in struts.
We have the LookupDispatcher which maps certain words ro the action to
be performed.

Hi,

Why don't you repost your question in a Java newsgroup, since Javascript is
not the problem?

This is a Javascriptnewsgroup.
