Re: Possible daft question from beginner

Hi Kirstin !

 

I don't know if it works  (because i didn't tried)  but i think it could solve yuor problem:

 

first the to sumbit button s should have the same name (name=enter)

 

Than in the doPost method 

String submit=request.getParameterValues("enter")[0] ;

 

if(sumbit.equals("Submit+Finish") ) {

 

                                          ...do something

                                     }

 

                         else {

                               //  maybe you need a redirection too

                                 

                                 response.sendRedirect(http://www.somewhere.com/form.html);

                            

                              }

 

 

If this doesn't work you could use some JavaScript code .

Please let me know i will try to help because somehow it MUST work.

 

Best wishes,

                    Andras

Question from a beginner in servlets

I have written my servlet but have come across a problem when I want to submit it :

 out.println("<input type=submit value=\"Submit + New Tail Collection\" name=enter>");

 out.println("<input type=submit value=\"Submit + Finish\">");

 out.println("<input type=reset value=\"Reset\">");

As you can see I want an option that allows me to go back to the start of the servlet if the Submit + new tail collection is pressed, or to get back to my main menu if the Submit + finish is pressed.  But I am uncertain how to proceed from here.  This code is in the doGet and the information is processed in doPost.

I hope this isn't to much of an obvious and easy problem to solve

Thanks
