<ww:form />

An HTML form.

Sample Usages

<ww:form name="'myForm'" action="'submit.action'">
...
</ww:form>
<ww:form name="'myForm'" action="'submit'" namespace="'/foo'">
...
</ww:form>

Attributes

Name Required Description
name yes HTML name attribute
value no Data to pass as field value
openTemplate no Template to use for the open form tag
action yes HTML action attribute
namespace no Namespace of action
target no HTML target attribute  
method no 'GET' or 'POST'
enctype no HTML enctype attribute
validate no Whether to use client-side validation
cssClass no HTML class attribute
cssStyle no HTML style attribute

Note: The action attribute works in two different ways. The original (and deprecated) format is shown in the first sample usage. The newer format allows you to specify just the action name (as well as a namespace, if there is one) as defined in xwork.xml. This is required if you wish to do any form of Client Side Validation
