<h2>New Form</h2>
<s:form  action="aa.action" name="myform" method="post" onsubmit="return(validateForm())">
<s:textfield name="formnumber" size="20" />
.
.
<button value="add" name="add">Add</button>

You should mention type="button".
Otherwise it will submit the current URL again.

<button type="button" value="Add" name="add"/>

Get rid of the onclick. You don't need it here. The type="add" already submits the form. Your concrete problem is likely caused because the onclick of the <form> has returned false.

<input type="button" name="method" value="Add" class="button"
    onclick="location.href='Employeelist.jsp'" />

Default button always submit the form so add type="button" it will stop

<button type="button" value="add" name="add">Add</button>

OR Use

<input type="button" name="add" value="Add" />
