This is in reference to question JQuery Ajax form submit along with usual submit on the same form in Struts 2.
I am also trying to get a regular Struts 2 <s:submit> and a Struts 2 jQuery <sj:submit> to work on the same page.
I followed the answer that Roman C gave, but it still doesn't work.
My setup for the form looks like this:
<head>
<sj:head/>
</head>
<s:form id="dataForm" action="updateData" method="POST">
<s:hidden name="updatedDate" />
<s:submit id="nonAjaxSubmit" name="updateDataSubmit" value="Update and Close"/>
</s:form>
<sj:submit formIds="dataForm" name="updateDataAjaxSubmit" value="Update" targets="result"/>
I have the <s:submit> inside the form as Roman C specified.
The Ajax Submit <sj:submit> button works, but the regular submit <s:submit> button that's inside the form doesn't work.
I'm not trying to override the action method to use like the other questioner, I'm just trying to get the <s:submit> to work.
I need the <s:submit> to trigger the action and do the redirect as specified by the action in the struts.xml file. And I need the <sj:submit> to trigger the same action asynchronously while leaving the loaded page in the browser alone.
If anyone has an idea of what I might need to do to get it to work, that would be helpful.
If the plugin overrides a submit event on the form then you should try click event and submit the form using javascript submit().
For example:
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function(){
$("nonAjaxSubmit").click(function(e){
e.preventDefault();
this.form.submit();
});
});
</script>
