John, You are missing the fact that form parameters cannot be submitted using both the HTTP Post and Get methods simulaneously. The method that is used by the html:form tag is "POST". This means that the form contents are submitted as name-value pairs in the contents of the HTTP message as opposed to sending them as query parameters as would be the case if the method was "GET". >Why not? If you try and append a query string to a form action and POST it, the servlet receiving the request will ignore the query string because the method is POST. I think the browser will overwrite the query string if you try and do the same think but set the method to "GET".
