You have to use

} if (request.getParameter("loc".equals("clipArtManager")) {

When you use ==, you are comparing objects, and in your case, they are not the
same.  What you want to use is equals(), which just compares the content.

I am an ASP programmer moving to JSP. I am trying to run my first script and
capture a Querystring however it seem so dificult in JSP.
This is my code:
<%
} if (request.getParameter("loc") == "clipArtManager") {
%>
Clip Art
<%
} else {
%>
No Go
<%
}
%>

It is always returning No go. Why is this?

My other problem is that when I print out
request.getParameter("loc") I het 500 Null printed on the screen, with no
other data shown.

What is happening?

Please ANY help would be much appreciated.
