Render a submit button. The submit tag is used together with the form tag to provide asynchronous form submissions.
The submit can have three different types of rendering:
- input: renders as html <input type="submit"...>
- image: renders as html <input type="image"...>
- button: renders as html <button type="submit"...>
Please note that the button type has advantages by adding the possibility to seperate the submitted value from the
text shown on the button face, but has issues with Microsoft Internet Explorer at least up to 6.0
Examples
<s:submit value="%{'Submit the form'}" />
Render an image submit:
<s:submit type="image" value="%{'Submit the form'}" src="submit.gif"/>
Render an button submit:
<s:submit type="button" value="%{'Submit the form'}"/>

Show the results in another div. If you want your results to be shown in
a div, use the resultDivId where the id is the id of the div you want them
shown in. This is an inner HTML approah. Your results get jammed into
the div for you. Here is a sample of this approach:
Remote form replacing another div:
<div id='two' style="border: 1px solid yellow;">Initial content</div>
<s:form
id='theForm2'
cssStyle="border: 1px solid green;"
action='/AjaxRemoteForm.action'
method='post'
theme="ajax">
<input type='text' name='data' value='Struts User' />
<s:submit value="GO2" theme="ajax" resultDivId="two" />
</s:form >
