I.. I'm not a guru and i am new in servlets programming, but i think that to receive data from a form, the POST method is better... You are limited in the lenght by the GET method.

[mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Patrick Lurlay Sent: Wednesday, September 08, 1999 11:13 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Help Hello Out there: Any Idea from anyone on the message I am getting when I tried to access the below servlet? I am running javawebserver1.1.3 on NT4.0. I placed the below html code in the public_html directory that is located in the webserver root directory and the java servlet class in the servlets directory that is also located in the webserver root directory. Using the url "http://servername:8080/CustSvc.html gives me the page and when I filled all the neccessary/required field, I get a popup message saying that reads "form contains no data"----when I am expecting the html code to access the java servlet code. Some one help, please.
