>html:text < default value

[ramandeep singh]

i have entered the default value ,value="91" in the the form
and when i submit the form with the changes in text value like i change
text to 333
but submit.do still shows the value as 91 wht should i do

>html:text style="width:32px" maxlength="5" property="homecountry" value="91"/<

It seems like what you have should work. Are you positive that you form has a public method named setHomecountry (with this exact capitalization)? If you don't get any help then posting more of your form, jsp and action code might point out the problem.

value=91. So everytime the field is not null the value will be 91? Use struts to prepopulate via forms.

[Merrill Higginson]

My recommendation is that you not use the "value" attribute at all. As Chris pointed out, the best way to set a default value in Struts is to set the property in the ActionForm.

In this case, I'd put the following statement in the Action that forwards to this JSP and leave out the value attribute:

myForm.setHomeCountry("91");

hi thank you for reply
i am sending you my code
i tried public method named setHomecountry (with this exact capitalization)
but its giving the same result

i am sending you the form and actionForm

As I said in my previous post, remove the value attribute entirely from the <html:text> tag. If the value attribute is present, the property will revert to that value if there is a validation error and the page is redisplayed. Since an <html:text> tag is already tied to the value of the ActionForm property, the value attribute should seldom if ever be used.

[ramandeep singh]

ok i will do tht
but i dont have any other action pages linked to this page at the moment
so is there any other way out

[Merrill Higginson]

I see that you've set the value of homecountry to 91 in the reset method of your ActionForm. That will suffice. With that in place, you don't need to set the value in an Action class.

[ramandeep singh]

thank you for the help ,it is working now worked
i really appreciate your help
and i will seek your help in the future

[prashant kond]

Hi,
If you see the topic for this post it is looking weird. Actually it might have posted like <html:text and it got printed in differently.
It is not allowing &,< and > charecters as input.
I am facing same problem in my UI page. From UI to form it is converting in differently.
If any one having solution to get rid of this would be greatful.
