AFAIK you should use "foo.bar.checked = true" to set checkboxes in JavaScript. This isn't really a Struts question, though.
Seems my question is not clear ... I have to
JSP files (Navigation.jsp & QualsForm.jsp) ... QualsForm has checkboxes (multibox) which the user will select.. I will read the selected checkboxes into an array of strings inside the Action class when the form is submitted. If i add a submit button in my QualsForm, the checked boxes gets submitted successfully .. But if i use the hyperlink in Navigation.jsp to submit QualsForm.jsp, the
string array form property is always empty ... The code i provided is how i did it was hoping for corrections
