When comparing strings, you should use the STring method .equals()
Instead, try:
(request.getParameter("loc").equals("clipArtManager"))
Hope this helps.

Subject: Querystrings - Fustrated Newbie Question, Please Help
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.
