Here is what I did but still does not work :
<%
String requestUri = request.getRequestURI();
int indexOfqm = requestUri.indexOf('?');
if (indexOfqm != -1)
requestUri = requestUri.substring(0, indexOfqm);
String category = request.getParameter("category");
%>
<%
if (category !=null)
{
category = (String)request.getParameter("flag");
}
else //If category wasn't in the query string, set it to a default value.
{
category = "All"; //Fill in the default value here. I just used an empty
string.
}
%>
<center>
<script language="JavaScript">
function gotoFunction() {
self.location =
document.productGoto.productList.options[document.productGoto.productList.selectedIndex].value;
}
</script>
<table width="90%" cellpadding="4">
<tr >
<td bgcolor="#eeeeff">
<FORM NAME="productGoto">
<FONT FACE="Arial,Helvetica" SIZE="-2">
