Request.getParameter() coming as Null in IE

[Nick Smit]

Using Struts 1.3

My code
In JSP setting hidden fields like this
-------------
<input type="hidden" name="myStatus"/>
-------------
Setting values and Submitting form in JS
-------------
document.getElementsByName("myStatus")[0].value = 10;
document.forms[0].action = "/corporate/user/viewSheet";
document.forms[0].submit();
-------------

Retrieving in Action
-------------
System.out.println(request.getParameter("myStatus"));

-------------

I am getting proper value in Chrome and Firefox but in IE this comes as Null

Anybody has a solution?

[Bear Bibeault]

The hidden input has no value.

[Nick Smit]

I am setting it in javascript. That is what I am trying to retrieve in action.

[Bear Bibeault]

Is the JavaScript boofing up in IE?

[Nick Smit]

I have checked it goes and sets it properly in javascript but when it comes in action, it gives me null. remember its working perfectly in other browsers.

[Bear Bibeault]

How have you checked it? The JavaScript failing is the most obvious problem point.

[Nick Smit]

I have put alert after setting value. It is coming fine.

What version of IE?

[Nick Smit]

IE 8

At this point I think you need to post a SSCCE.

Finally I found what is the issue.

My Hidden field has name "myStatus"

My page is consisting of mutiple JSPs
In other jsp, I had one more input field which has same id "myStatus"

IE was referring to that field so I was not getting value, while other browsers can differentiate between id and name, IE is dumb not to do that. So when I changed the name of my hidden field , it started working...
