Hii.
Thanks for ur advise...
I am also appending below my source file emp.jsp which displays the
names all the employees in the database and lists them as html links.
When a user clicks on anyone of the employee, the name of the employee
is to pass to the details.jsp page. But when i do
request.getParameter("empname") in the details.jsp page, i am getting
the value as null. I am not able to figure out why? I think therez some
logical error in the emp.jsp file, it wud be grateful if u cud check the
javascipt portion of the page.
(I am not very much conversant with javascript..so plz excuse)
thanks
Jayman
