I used something like this and it works; here is an example where I used it: <form target="rbottom" action="detailairkitbeans.jsp"> <input type="hidden" name="countnode" value="<%=countnode%>"> <input type="submit" name="sub" value="get more info"> </form> But I have not used <FORM ENCTYPE="multipart/form-data" actually.
