Hi Jayman,

<form name="form1" method="post" action="details.jsp">
<input type = "hidden" name="empname" value="">
<ol>
<%
while(rs.next())
{
%>
<li>
<a href="javascript:onclick="submitForm('<%= rs.getString(1)
%> ')" ><%= rs.getString(1) %> </a>
<%
}
%>
</ol>
</form>
<script language="JavaScript">
function submitForm(str)
{
document.form1.empname.value=str;
document.form1.submit();
}
</script>
or
2. a simpler method
<%
while(rs.next())
{
%>
<li>
<a href="details.jsp?n=<%= rs.getString(1) %>"><%=
rs.getString(1) %> </a>
<%
}

Subject: Submitting a form with hidden field
Hi...
I think u will be able to help me out.
I have a emp.jsp page which lists all employees as present in the
database as html links. When I click on any of the employee, I have to
list all the details of the employees, which i do so using the
details.jsp page, once again the details are in the database. Now I have
taken one hidden field "empname" just before listing the employees, and
using the onClick u specified below, I have to pass the name of employee
clicked to the details.jsp page.
<form name="form1" method="post" action="details.jsp">
<input type = "hidden" name="empname" value="">
<ol>
<%
while(rs.next())
{
%>
<li>
<a href="javascript:onclick="submitForm()"
onClick="submitForm()">
<%= rs.getString(1) %> </a>
<%
}
%>
</ol>
</form>
<script language="JavaScript">
function submitForm()
{
document.form1.empname.value=<%= rs.getString(1) %>;
document.form1.submit();
}
</script>
But still when I click on the listed employees, I remain on the same
page.
Please HELP!!!
Thanks
Jayman
