Javascript to Submit the Value of a Text Field

[Natalie Kopple]

I am getting into deep trouble.

My link is defined inside a form. Everything is tested without problem except that the link does not pick up the value of a text field that is also defined inside the form. Although the link does pick up fixed values and they are submitted.

Therefore, I have to use Javascript to submit the value of a textfield when the link is clicked.

Moreover to my problem. I have several text fields in the form. A client may or may not enter a value in any one of those text fields. But, all the entered values must be submitted when the link is clicked.
Please help me.

<html:text property="searchFirstName" />
<html:text property="searchLastName" />
.....
.....
 
<c:url value="/admin/sortUsers.do" var="ascFirstName">
    <c:param name="sortKey" value="firstName" />  this one works.
    <c:param name="orderKey" value="ASC" />    this one works.
    <c:param name="searchFirstName"
value="${searchFirstName}" />    this one does not work.
</c:url>
<A href=' <c  :o  ut value="${ascFirstName}" /> '>
<html-el:img page="/images/upArrow.gif" border="0"
alt="ascending" />
</A>

Check whether the value is assigned to text field properly.

You mean to say that text field value is not being sent to server on form submit ?

[Natalie Kopple]

I mean that the value of the text field is not sent by clicking on the "link". The "link" invokes an action.

Both the text field and the link are inside a pair of "form" tag.

Please, I need a Javascript.

Please post the HTML of the form, field and link in question.

Note: post the rendered HTML, not the JSP source full of struts tags.

You're probably not forming the URL correctly to pass the value.
