can javascript and Struts work together ?

can javascript and Struts work together ?

in html

<input type=text size=20 name=address>

javascript works this way..

document.personal.address="someValue";




Now, how do i use javascript in Struts ?

<html:text property="firstname"/>

How do i set the value of first name using javascript now ?

Alfred,
Yes, Javascript and Struts work together well.

document.personal.address="someValue";

If you know the value at the time you paint the page, you can do:
<html:text property="firstname" value="someValue" />

If not, you can do:
document.formName.firstname="someValue";

The form name is whatever you defined in the Struts config. You can also find this by looking at the rendered HTML page.

ummm...i am confused.

in html we have

<input type=text size=20 name=address> ... "name" field, so javascript works fine.


but in Struts there is no "name" fields rather there is "property" field! , so how javascript will work now ? because javascript works when there is "name" field only.

Alfred,
Struts converts the property field into an HTML name field. You can verify this by doing a "view source" in your browser on a page created by Struts.
