Hi, I am new to Web Programming. So this might be a simple question.
I have a JSP that has two ways of launching a servlet - A link created with HREF and a form whose action attribute is set. In each case the URL includes one parameter. When I run the servlet through the HREF, the servlet finds the request parameter. When I submit the form the parameter is lost. I am using Standalone Tomcat 4.0.4 and the access log looks like this. 127.0.0.1 - "GET /sessmgmt/dispappdet? HTTP/1.0" 200 646 Notice how there is nothing after the question mark. When I use the HREF I get this access log 127.0.0.1 - "GET /sessmgmt/dispappdet?bigurl=0123456789 HTTP/1.0" 200 683 My browser is IE 5.00.2920. Here is the JSP. <html> <head><title>The biggest URL that IE can handle</title></head> <body> <h1>The biggest URL</h1> <a href="dispappdet?bigurl=0123456789">Display App Details with Big Url</a> <form method="GET" action="dispappdet?bigurl=01234567890"> <input type="submit"/> </form> </body> </html> The problem must be at the client, the browser, because the parameter seems to get stripped off before the request is sent to the server. But what am I doing wrong? Any help you can give is appreciated. thanks chalakanth --------------------------------- Do you Yahoo!?
