Description

Action names may include some characters (such as hyphens) that cannot be part of a JavaScript variable name.
In form related tags, the action name is used as a part of the generated HTML tag name and/or id.

This causes invalid JavaScript when a HTML tag name/id is used as part of a JavaScript variable, such as in <s:doubleselect> generated JavaScript (an, I think, also in JavaScript validation code, but I'm not sure).

A simple fix would be replacing all prohibited characters with underscores in the generated HTML tags names and ids.
