Hello everybody,

I have an HTML form populated with data from the database as pairs of key-description by a Struts Action class. I also have a textbox. I want the key value into the text box when it is clicked.How do I do this?I hope my question is clear...Is JavaScript the only way to do it? b'coz i will be passing the textbox value to a Struts ActionClass for further processing.Any help ASAP would be appreciated.Looking for help!

Thanks,
Prabha

Hi,

Your Html form is populated, it means that the textbox is also populated with its value from the database. Do you want to have an onclick event on the textbox?, can you be more clear in explaining your requirement.

Hi,
i have done like this using javascipt only . That is the easiest way to handle.And if you have the entry in the formbean class(your action form class) for your textbox property, you will get the textbox value in your action class. Else you can you request.getParameter("") also to get the value from the text box(you might know this).
My suggestion is it will be better to use javascript .
all the best
