[muthu bharathi]

Hi,

I have a.jsp, b.jsp and c.jsp. a.jsp contains one hidden text field (named as text1) and one submit button. the submit action will open the b.jsp and the b.jsp contains one submit button this will open the c.jsp.

My query is how can i fetch the hidden text field(text1) name and its value in from a.jsp to c.jsp.

How will pass the hidden text field name in jsp request?

very urgent....

Hidden fields can be fetched using the request object as shown below

String hiddenValue = request.getParameter("text1");

Just use input type="hidden" name="name" attribute and request the value for it and use it for your code

Hi jamal/Kuldip,

Very thanks for your quick response. I need one more clarification.

How can we get the element type in jsp? for example i have

  <input type="text" name"t1" value=""  

i need the element type is "text" in next jsp page.

There is no way to know the original element's type.

All JSP parameters are sent as Strings. Always.

Besides--you already *know* the type--you wrote the original JSP.

Hi David,


Thanks for your response..

Here i mean the type is The attribute "Element type" for the <input /> text box.

All you get is the name and the value. Period.
