One option is to use a javascript to reset the form when the user clicks on submit. To do this, add the following javascript to your submit button (change 'form' to be the name of your form):
<s:submit value="Save" onclick="this.form.reset();" />
You could also use the Struts 2 JQuery Plugin which has a special tag for this purpose.

Better You set the the null value in model object in Action class of after store the data in DB and before return success
example if you have User object , you set user.setUserName(""); user.setPassword("")

View hidden fields in the gsp code via if-operator in Grails

I am writing a form. If checkbox in this form is filled, some hidden fields in this form must be shown. This is a part of my form:
<div class="checkbox">
<label><g:checkBox name="isAdminCafee" value="${false}"/>Register as admin</label>
</div>
<g:if test="${isAdminCafee == true}">
some admin data
</g:if>
I've decided to use if-operator for solving this task, but when I set check-box on, hidden fields don't show. How to fix it?
It seems you are trying to show some admin data when user checks the checkbox and hide some admin data when user unchecks the checkbox.
You have used g:if tag library which is interpreted in the server and render the part inside it if the test condition is true.
Instead of using g:if tag library, you need to hide some admin data using css and use javascript to show or hide when user checks or unchecks the checkbox.

Grails formRemote disabled field content isn't coming back as a param from GSP

I am showing a text field on a GSP template that is in a formRemote and has content auto populated and is disabled (no editing allowed to user). When the form is submitted, I don't see the content of this field among the params going to the controller. I do see it when I remove the disabled="true" attribute from the text field. Any way to resolve this? Here is the field in question:
<label>Secondary ID:</label>&nbsp<g:textField name="secondaryId" disabled="true" style="border-radius: 5px" value="${recordToEdit ? recordToEdit.secondaryId : '' }"></g:textField>
Disabled form elements do not get submitted by the browser. You will need to enable the field(s) (through use of Javascript) prior to submitting the form.

How can I manipulate a form / inputs to be ignored when a form is submitted

I'm using ExpressionEngine and SafeCracker along with Ajax (plugin: jquery.form.js - http://jquery.malsup.com/form/).
Best I can tell, SafeCracker will only allow for updating a single entry at a time. However, the UI / UX necessitates that a list be displayed. I've proof of concept'ed an entry by entry on-demand form. That is, click a particular edit link next to each entry and a snippet of jquery creates a form along with displaying a submit button. Click submit and that single entry updates. The inputs don't exist until the Update link is clicked
What I would prefer to do, if possible, is to create the non-form and form versions of each entry as the page is renbered and use some sort of toggle to display one or the other. Again, doable. Then, when I click the Edit link I'd add the necessary attributes to the input so that entry's form elements will be read but the other (display: none) elements for the other entries will be ignored. I'm thinking (out loud) that if I add the attr("name", some-value) that would work. That is, an input with no name will be ignored.
Yes, I can test this and I will. However, even if it works I'm not sure if it's a best practice and/or there's a more ideal way of accomplishing my ends. I'm here looking for validation and/or additional expertise and input.
Thanks in advance.
Just set disabled property to inputs and they will excluded from Form submission, whatever input fields are hidden or visible. Different jQuery methods, like submit() and serialize() follow specification of HTML 4 and exclude all disabled controls of a forms. So one way is to set
$('your_input').prop('disabled', true);
or ,
$('your_input').attr('disabled', 'disabled');
Check following link:
http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/interact/forms.html#successful-controls
Also, you may use a general button instead of a submit, as result you can handle click event on it and within that event you can make exclusion, validation, manipulation on values and what ever you like.
You can put a disabled attribute on them server side or set the property via jQuery:
$(".hidden input").prop("disabled", true);

Sending javascript array with form data

i have 2 <g:select> elements in my gsp and both allow multiple selection (listboxes). I wrote some javascript that adds the option clicked by the user to the other select.
I build an array of items in select2.
I also have a form, that consist of checkboxes and such and submit button.
My problem is that I need to send that javascript array along other form data ( when i press submit ), to the controller. I just can't figure out a way, to send it.
Select box will get serialized and send with other form components, if you set every option to "selected = true".

How do I repopulate everything in a wizard style page for ASP.NET MVC?

I've got a page that creates a ticket in our help desk system. It acts as a wizard with the following steps:
Step 1
User selects the customer from a dropdown list. There is a jquery onchange event that fires and generates the list for step 2 and hides the step1 div and shows the step2 div.
Step 2
User selects the location from a dropdown list. This is generated based on the customer selected in step 1. There is a jquery onchange event that fires and generates the list for step 3 and hides the step2 div and shows the step3 div.
Step 3
User selects the type from a dropdown list and enters text into 3 different text boxes. If the user fails to enter text or enters invalid text my controller changes the model state to invalid and returns the view.
How can I get all the dropdowns to repopulate again with the correct selection the user chose and get the page to redisplay on Step 3?
My first thought was to use ajax and when the user clicks the Create button, I could create the ticket from there and if successful send them to the ticket detail. If unsuccessful, well just display an error message and i'm still on the page so no big deal. Now that I write it out I think this is best. Are there any major issues using ajax? It seems most sites use some type of javascript or ajax these days.
Second thought is to not use ajax at all and submit all the pages to the server.
What do you suggest?
The 3 steps display completely different markup.
There is possibly not much you can gain by an AJAX-version, except the avoided page flicker when you change the steps.
If you go the non-AJAX way you gain:
nice bookmarkable links ( www.ticketsystem.com/Customer -> www.ticketsystem.com/Customer/Microsoft/ -> www.ticketsystem.com/Customer/Microsoft/Location -> www.ticketsystem.com/Customer/Microsoft/Location/Redmond )
browser history works
easier testing
To redisplay the lists after step 3 you would load all of them and set the selected item according to the parameter in the URL.
I agree with you. Use AJAX to submit the ticket.
