Struts- Submitting a form using hyperlink

[c#_novice]

Hi, i have a tile with two hyperlinks... I would like to submit another JSP tile (form) with data...

	<a href="javascript: submitqual()">Qualified</a>

	<script type="text/javascript">
		function submitqual()
		{
			document.qualsForm.printQual.value = true;											
			document.qualsForm.submit();						
		}
	</script>
	<br />
	<a href="javascript: submitnonqual()">Not Qualified</a>

	<script type="text/javascript">
		function submitnonqual()
		{
			document.qualsForm.printNonQual.value = true;			
			document.qualsForm.submit();						
		}
	</script>
	<br />

When i press 'Qualified', the form qualsForm has checkBoxes which i would like to submit to the action class... For some reason this data is not passe through

here's my FormObject

public class QualsForm  extends ActionForm  implements java.io.Serializable  {
	

	private boolean printQual;
	private boolean printNonQual;
	private String[] checkeJPQuals = null;
	private String[] checkePPQuals = null;	
	
	public QualsForm() {
	}
	
	public String[] getCheckeJPQuals() {
		return checkeJPQuals;
	}
	public void setCheckeJPQuals(String[] checkeJPQuals) {
		this.checkeJPQuals = checkeJPQuals;
	}
	public String[] getCheckePPQuals() {
		return checkePPQuals;
	}
	public void setCheckePPQuals(String[] checkePPQuals) {
		this.checkePPQuals = checkePPQuals;
	}

	public boolean isPrintQual() {
		return printQual;
	}

	public void setPrintQual(boolean printQual) {
		this.printQual = printQual;
	}

	public boolean isPrintNonQual() {
		return printNonQual;
	}

	public void setPrintNonQual(boolean printNonQual) {
		this.printNonQual = printNonQual;
	}
}

I would think that you should have a javascript error on the page when attempting this.

document.qualsForm.printQual.value

Should be:

document.qualsForm.getElementById("printQual").value

Or with jquery
$("#printQual").val(true);

Are you getting a javascript error (bottom left corner in I.E.) when running this? And can you post the relevant jsp code (where the check boxes are declared)?
