I have got a
JSP page .
It has got a textfield.
During run time the textfield is set to some value. I want to know if there is any way of using the value of the textfiled in the same JSP page.
I have tried
String flag=(flag)request.getParameter("nameofthetextfield")
In the action of the form I have put the same jsp page where the textfield resides.
But all the time I get a null value in flag though the textfield displays the changed value.
Any idea how I can extract the value of the textfield
