passing parameters with LookupDispatchAction

I need to know if there is a way to pass a dynamic parameter from a JSP page to a LookupDispatchAction without using JavaScript. Here is what I'm doing:

I have a JSP page with editable fields; say customer info for example: name, phone, etc. I also have a list of associated orders at the bottom of the screen. I�d like to be able to click on one of these orders and do the following:

1)Save the data on the form (so I need to use a SUBMIT and not just a LINK)
2)Forward the user to another screen based upon the ID of the order they just selected.

One of the constraints that I have is that I cannot use JavaScript because it�s possible that an end-user would have it disabled. This means I can�t add any code in the onClick event for the �order� link that would set a hidden field on the form before submitting it.

Is there a way to do this?

Thanks for the help!

Can you even submit the form from a link without using JavaScript? It seems like you would have to have a bunch of submit buttons on the page, which would probably look pretty ugly.

The "no JavaScript" rule sounds nice in theory, but it is almost impossible to write a decent web based application without using JavaScript.

Brent,

I created a class in my CSS file that looks like a regular link, not a button. I then use that class when I create the page and the "links" look fine:

.NinePlain_fake_link {
FONT-WEIGHT: 300;
FONT-SIZE: 8pt;
COLOR: black;
BACKGROUND-COLOR: white;
FONT-FAMILY: Arial, Helvetica, Verdana;
TEXT-DECORATION: underline;
border-color: white;
border-style: solid;
border-width: 0;
cursor: hand;}

<input type="submit" value="INFO" class="NinePlain_fake_link" />

Ben:

Thanks for the info. I did not know that you could change the looks of a "button". Sorry I cannot help you with your question.
