Hi
1. no there are no limitations on no. of params on the form.
2. if u are planning to retrieve only one value then there is no point
doing "getParameterValues" u should be using only "getParameter"
3. U could have made typo while entering name="..."
4. to get the default value - dont put anything in value and let user
enter what they want, say if the user left it empty, when ur servlet does
"getParameter" it should see if the value returned was empty - then put your
default in it.
Mittal.
