[opencms-dev] Link Management for Form Actions

[Steve Bryan]

This might be an option, but only if I move the form to a JSP (the cms tags
don't apply in content). 

In this case the HTML for the form is in XML Page content.

Thanks
Steve

Hi Steve,

Did you try to use the cms:link tag??? I don't know if it works but maybe it
does.
