OnChange not firing

[Devinder Mahil]

Hi :

I have a form that includes a jsp. In this jsp I have an html:select which has an onchange event which is not firing.

    <form name="formname" method="post" action="Action.do">        
    <tr>
    </tr>  
    <tr> 
        <td  class="hdr">
          <table  border="0"  >
                 <tr> 
                     <td class="mainhdrb">${data.FieldName}
                 </tr>
           </table>
        </td>
    </tr>
    <%@ include file="/WEB-INF/pages/included.jsp" %>                      
  </form>

included.jsp

   
<html:select styleClass="dropdownlist"   name="formname" property="prop_id"  onchange="this.form.action='/anotherAction.do' this.form.submit();">
  <html:option value="0">Select</html:option>
  <html:optionsCollection name="collectionList" value="id" label="labelName" />
</html:select>

what's wrong with the code?

Have you debugged what is happening?
Are you getting an errors?
Did you stick an alert in the onchange to see if it is firing?
Do you have a submit button named submit? [if you do rename it]
Are you actually changing the selected item? [Picking the same item does not fire the event]

SHowing Struts source code in an HTML forum isn't the best approach. It'd be better to show the resulting HTML.

Thanks Eric. There was a button named "submit" in the form, renaming it worked.

onchange="this.form.action='/anotherAction.do' this.form.submit();"

that you forget a semicolon between ".do'" and "this"?

you can add a simple alert statement in your onchange function to check it.
like onchange="alert('this is a test');"

i think i will work fine.
