How to trap a button click?

Hi,

One way is to use a hidden parameter to see which button is click.

You can set the value of the hidden parameter depends upon which button is clicked.

Hi,

<script>
 
function update(valuetoset){
document.forms[0].hiddenparamname.value=valuetoset;
document.forms[0].submit();
}

</script>

<html:button.......onclick="update('button1value');"/>

<html:button.......onclick="update('button2value');"/>

bloodredsun,

I like your method. But when I implemented that in my source, I am getting the famous HTTP error 404. It does not recognise the .do part?

Here is a portion of my code...

out.println("<form method=\"post\" action=\"/pSystem/PFolders.do?src=show\">");
.....
....
out.println("<form method=\"post\" action=\"/pSystem/PFolders.do?src=add\">");


and then in my doPost() I have a block like this....

if("show".equals( request.getParameter("show") ) ){
  System.out.println("coming from show");
}else{
System.out.println("coming from add");
}

And the error is
HTTP Status 404 - /pSystem/PFolders.do

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

type Status report

message /pSystem/PFolders.do

description The requested resource (/pSystem/PFolders.do) is not available.


Note : I have a PFolders.class file in the appropriate folder in the WEB-INF and is a working Servlet and
I have been working with that for a while now. Only thing I added was the .do  as you have specified.

Any input will be appreciated.

Thanks

OK. Blood,

I think I fixed that problem.

But now I have another problem. When any of the two buttons is clicked,
it always goes to "Coming from add".

Trying to figure out.

Bloodredsun,

Thanks pretty clever.

I will split the points b/w blood and fargo, but majority goes to Blood.

Thanks fargo too.
