I did the same using a "get"
The link on the name should be something like:
<a href="/servlet/YOURSERVLET?entry=ENTRYNUMBER">NAME</a>
in YOURSERVLET use getParameter("entry") to retrive the entry.
With the post you have to make a form for each cell.
I can think of a few trick to avoid this but it is much easier to use a get.
You can have your user select a checkbox before submiting the form to
specify the cell.
You can call a javascript before submitting the form to fill in an hidden
field with the right entry...
