Using javascript in Struts: DOM vs. ActionForm

Howdy,

I am converting an existing WebSphere 5.1 FrontController servlet application to Struts. The infrastructure is very simple and just receives requests, wraps the request in an MQ message and sends it to a mainframe. The mainframe sends back an XML message that is associated with an XSLT to render the screen.

Here's the problem: all of these stylesheets have been created by mainframers and contain pages and pages of nasty looking javascript. Whenever you click on a link you get all sorts of js errors even though we haven't changed anything in the XSLT or the XML message.

I have noticed that changing document references from document.main.fieldname.value to document.HomePageForm.fieldname.value works very well, but I am assuming that that means that every variable declared in these scripts and stylesheets must have a field in the appropriate form bean.

So, the questions is:
Can js developed explicity for DOM be converted to Struts without any changes?
If I'm being stupid and missed some basic doc, please let me know.

Thanks.

html:options not populating html:select

<tlibversion>1.2</tlibversion>
<jspversion>1.1</jspversion>
<shortname>html</shortname>

in WebSphere 5.1.1

I am very new to JSTL and the Struts Taglibs. I have an ArrayList contained inside of a value bean (VALUEBEAN) that I am putting into the HTTP session. I need to populate a drop-down box with the contents of the ArrayList (txnList). I am using the folling tags:

<bean

efine id="vbean" name="VALUEBEAN" property="txnList" />

<html:select property="transactionNm" onchange="newTransaction()">
<html

ptions collection="txnList" property="value" labelProperty="value" />
</html:select>

I've been reading Struts in Action and the Apache doc, but It's just not sinking in and I've got to understand where I'm going wrong.

Please, "help a brother out."
