I ran into this same issue. My solution was to submit the form data using the jQuery serialize method to append the form data tho the href of the anchor tag.

<s:url var="urlFkey" namespace="%{namespace}" action="GotoAddForeignKeyRecord" escapeAmp="false" >
  <s:param name="target" >disp${fieldName}</s:param>
  <s:param name="fkeyName" value="fkeyName"/>
  <s:param name="fkeyTableName" value="fkeyPrimaryTableName"/>
  <s:param name="recordID" value="recordID"/>
</s:url>
<s:a id="disp%{fieldName}" href="%{urlFkey}" cssClass='nyroModal' onclick="this.href = this.href + '&' + $('#%{dispTablename}saveRecord').serialize();">
   Add New <s:property value="fkeyPrimaryTableNameLabel"/>
</s:a>

Notice how the serialize method is called in the onclick event for the anchor tag. You can find more examples of using Struts with jQuery at my blog here.

I'd suggest just doing a javascript:form.submit() inside your anchor tag href

For anchor using struts tag use this

<s:url id="url" action="dummyAction">
     <s:param name="parameterName"><s:property value="parameterValue"/></s:param>
</s:url>
<s:a href="%{url}">Click here</s:a>
