Re: JSP:BUTTON vs INPUT

[Louie Tao]

it will, of course, print "null" in both situations

since  you put all the code u mentioned in one jsp file.

(ie. u are doing request and response on the same object in the same JSP page,)

 

if you put the following into a separate jsp file such as "Craig1.jsp" (or other jsp files):

 

<%
  out.println(request.getParameter("button1"));
%>

 

then, both situations will output the correct result.
