Hi Mukul
I tried the way you have suggested. However I am getting a JavaScript error
saying that
form.submit() is not a method.
The code I have written is as follows
<INPUT TYPE="button" VALUE="Search" onclick="Checkfn(this)" > </FONT> </td>
function Checkfn(f)
{
if(document.Search.Empid.value=="" &&
document.Search.EmpFname.value=="" &&
document.Search.EmpLname.value=="" )
{
alert("Please enter alleast one Search criterion");
document.Search.Empid.focus();
}
else
{
f.METHOD="GET";
f.ACTION="http://localhost:8080/servlet/SearchEmp";
f.Submit();
}
Please let me know what the problem is
Thanks
Nitin
