This should do what you're looking for: In the HTML use the javascript onClick
event to trigger the following action ..
Bind the values to the request .....
request.setAttribute("catName",<%= Categories[i][0] %> );
request.setAttribute("catId",<%= Categories[i][1] %> );
Then use RequestDispatcher to forward the request ....
RequestDispatcher rd =
getServletContext().getRequestDispatcher("CategoryMaint.jsp");
if ( rd != null ) {
rd.forward(req,res);
}
In CategoryMaint.jsp you can then access these values with ...
request.getAttribute("catName");
Hope this helps,
Stephen.
PS. I suppose you could also use cookies, but that's a longer story :-)
