When using JavaScript in a Struts application it is important to bear in mind the following:

1-Struts tags such as <html:text> are evaluated on the server-side and converted to regular HTML tags before the response is sent back to the browser.

2-A "property" attribute in an <html:xxx> tag is translated to "name" in the HTML tag that it is converted to. Also, specifying a "styleId" attribute will translate to an "id" attribute in regular HTML. For example:

<html:text property="foo" styleId="bar" />

translates to:

<input type="text" name="foo" id="bar">

3-JavaScript operates on the regular HTML tags, not on the struts tags. It's therefore important to know what the rendered HTML tags look like. To do this, use your browser's "view source" function. This will show you the actual HTML that was rendered by your struts tags.
