Heh, Rick,

I think we both misread what this gentleman is doing. I know I did. I
missed that the button used to submit the form was outside the form.
Why it is outside is not clear. But, he said it was. But, you seem to
have missed that it was being used to submit the form. An odd
situation. The original question, now that I reread it was:

i have a struts form and a button outside the form.

on button click , with javascript i need the submit the form


So, I guess he probably means he has <button> and not <input
type='button'> and you and I have just been jabbering at each other.
LOL Who knows?
