Can anyone tell me how I can do it using html and servlet.

I designed html page and gave all these three buttons same names but different values. I can fetch a record but i don't know how to pass these values from servlet to html.
How to return to same html page and display records.


Thanks

Vaishali

Once you have data available in servlet, you can set it as request attributes, and then forward request to JSP, in JSP you can access these data from request attributes using JSP EL and jstl, and generate html markup

Please return the complete HTML content along with the records, from the Servlet.

Not a good idea. sudhir's approach of using a JSP to generate the HTML is the correct approach.

The author wanted to use HTML and Servlets only, hence, I had given that solution.

You can use a table to display these values in a tabular fashion, but using JSP instead of servlet for HTML would be the best way.

Guiding people away from poor solutions is one of the Ranch's duties. Remember that CodeRanch is a learning site, not a "get quick answers" site.

Can I use javascript to pass values and get values from servlet.

If yes can anyone give me some example or site name where I can learn.

If no please suggest me other solution.

What exactly do you mean by

Can I call jsp in html?

[Swastik Dey]

Typically this should be your flow

Htm/jsp page sends request to servlet. Servlet with the help of helper classes performs the business and data access logics and creates a response. This response is forwarded to a jsp page to produce the output.

Correct me if I am wrong.

Perhaps this article might help.

And if you are new to JSP, read this article as well.
