Request.getParameter() coming as Null in IE

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?

The hidden input has no value.

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

Is the JavaScript boofing up in IE?

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.

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

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

What version of IE?

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...
