I am using struts2 framework in my application, I have one button on my
jsp page. That is
<s:submit type="button" name="btnSave" />
Now i want this button to behave as normal HTML button type should not submit the form and execute the Scripting
function on onclick event. That function submit the form using ajax.
But what happens is struts2 convert it to
<input type="submit" id="add_btnSave" name="btnSave" value="Save"/>
And my form is submitted.
1)If I use the HTML button tag it will mess the GUI. As theme of my form is ajax.
This is Head with script
<head>
<s:head theme="ajax"/>
<script type="text/javascript">
$("btnSave").click(function(){
alert("aaa");
$.ajax({
url:
type:"POST",
dataType: "json",
error: function(XMLHttpRequest, textStatus, errorThrown){
alert('Error ' + textStatus);
alert(errorThrown);
alert(XMLHttpRequest.responseText);
},
success: function(){
alert('SUCCESS');
}
});
});
</script>
</head>
My Body tag is as followes :
<body>
<table border="1" width="80%" align="center">
<tr>
<td width="100%">
<s:tabbedPanel id="EmpDetail" useSelectedTabCookie="true">
<s:div id="one" label="Emp Reg." theme="ajax" tabindex="0" labelposition="top">
<center>
<s:form name="frmEmpReg" namespace="/" method="post">
EMPLOYEE REGISTRATIOM TAB<br>
<s:actionmessage />
<input type="hidden" name="empbean.id" value="<s:property value="empbean.id"/>"/>
<s:textfield label="Employee First Name" name="empbean.firstName"></s:textfield>
<s:textfield label="Employee Middle Name" name="empbean.middleName"></s:textfield>
<s:textfield label="Employee Last Name" name="empbean.lastName"></s:textfield>
<s:textfield label="Address" name="empbean.address"></s:textfield>
<s:textfield label="State" name="empbean.state"></s:textfield>
<s:textfield label="Employee Designation" name="empbean.designation"></s:textfield>
<s:submit name="btnSave" type="submit" value="Save" align="center"/>
</s:form>
</center>
</s:div>
<s:div>
..
..
Other Tabs
</s:div>
</s:tabbedPanel>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</body>
I had searched more and i found that was a bug but that post was of 2007. So if any one have idea about that or
any one have any idea of handling it with struts2 then please help.
