Java Script

[Ravissant Markenday]

Hi everyone!,
Im designing a html login page using javascript .This is how it goes:

If there's anything wrong with the fields(as in fields not filled etc), the verification takes place at the client end using java script.

But, if everything is ok, i want to pass the control to a servlet where the jdbc part takes place.
Now my question is : how do i pass the control from the html page to the servlet?


thanks a lot.
regards,
ravissant

Hi. You can connect it to a servlet by mentioning the name of that particular servlet like 'action= yourservlet' in the form tag of your html.

Write the jdbc code in the appropriate doGet or doPost method and forward to a jsp or html.

Nothing to do with servlets (the fact that your URL will address a servlet is moot). So this has been moved to the HTML forum

And you are re-validating the data on the server, right?

The same way that you would any other server-side resource: forms, links or using Javascript. There's nothing special about servlets. They're just like any other server-side resource.
