Each button runs a script on click and then in the script i invoke submit(the action is to a servlet)... my problem is when the script invokes submit, it goes to the servlet...but the value of the button that was clicked is not read...... Kindly provide a solution.....

In that previous post, it helped.. but in this problem i m suggesting, there is a script that has to run once the button is clicked and then it is forwarded to servlet. so i wanted to know what can be done to read the value of the button in the servlet... i used request.getParameter()...but when i print the value and see, it returns null.....

when using request.getParameter, the parameter must be in the url.
so make sure when u call the servlet the name of the button has been sent and the url will look something like this
/someservlet?buttonname=xyz Be a part of the DaniWeb community
