Hi Noel,
thanks for your mail,let me make my problem more clearer, when i click on a
link in the 1st HTML page , a new(2nd) HTML page(with frames) opens up with
a .html extension.So it means when i click on the link in the 1st HTML page
a servlet is not generated instead a new page(this page has 4 frames in it)
with .html extension opens up. And in one of the frame a servlet with
SRC="/servlet/servletname" is specified , the rest of the frames have
SRC="some.html".Now this servlet requires an Initial Parameter for
displaying some data in this particular frame only.This Initial Parameter is
required to be fetched from the 1st HTML page.
any suggestions from your side will be welcomed by me,
Kind Regards ,
Rohit
