button

Hello all...

I have my code something like his:

<label for="btn></label>

<input type="button" id="btn" name="btn" value="Add" onclick="javascript:showButton('id');"/>

<div>

<div id="id" style="display: none;">

<input type="text" id="txt" name="txt" maxlength="5" />

</div>

so when the page first loads up, i have this text box hidden ...

but when the add button is clicked I have to show the text box...and I'm doing this using javascript...

and if the button is clicked I need to check for null or emtpy for the text box and throw an error if it is null or empty ...

but if the button is not clicked I can the skip the check for null in my action class...

My question is how can i know whether new is clicked or not since it is of type button...I can't use submit because i already have a submit button ...this add button is only to add a name in the text box...

Help is greatly appreciated...

Thanks,

Greeshma
