change the action just before the submit

[shailesh kumar]

Hi All,
I am trying to change the action just before the submit, I tried this javasctipt but this doesn't work, any ideas would be appreciated. This Javascript is called on Select OnChange event.

function populateConditions (int go) {
if(go ==1)   
document.forms[0].action = "/populateTypes";
document.forms[0].submit();
}
else{
 
document.forms[0].action = "/populateValues";
document.forms[0].submit();
}

Its not working because you are missing the the module name which html:form detect by it self

for eg if your project folder is school then the code would be like this

function populateConditions (int go) {
if(go ==1)   
document.forms[0].action = "school/populateTypes";
document.forms[0].submit();
}
else{
 
document.forms[0].action = "school/populateValues";
document.forms[0].submit();
}

or you can try this too

 
function populateConditions (int go) {
if(go ==1)   
document.forms[0].action = "../populateTypes";
document.forms[0].submit();
}
else{
 
document.forms[0].action = "../populateValues";
document.forms[0].submit();
}

It didn't work either that way, I think some thing else is missing..!!

may be problem with " { " mismatching..
pls check ..
give some alert() and see, whether you are going inside if

looks to me like you're missing the ".do" bit & have a "/"

I do the same thing & would use something like -

document.forms[0].action = "populateTypes.do"

hope this help!

Did you actually get error telling that specified url not availble or javascript doesn't change the action at all ?

If you have standart url mapping in our web.xml to "*.do" than it should be ok to specify the url like "someaction.do", i.e. w/o leading "/".
