If I call a html page from another page where I setup a name value pair e.g.<br />
<br />
<br />
<form name="thisForm" action="NextPage.html"><br />
<input type="text" name="employeeName" value="Tom"> <br />
</form><br />
<br />
<br />
how do I read the value of "employeeName" (which is "Tom") in the page "NextPage.html"?<!--content-->you will have to use serverside language (php, cgi, asp) to do that. you can also use javascript but it is not recommended. <br />
<br />
html doesn't have the power to do it alone<!--content-->Ok Scoutt, thanks. I am using jsp, so I will use the request object:<br />
<br />
request.getParameter("variableName").<!--content-->
<br />
<br />
<form name="thisForm" action="NextPage.html"><br />
<input type="text" name="employeeName" value="Tom"> <br />
</form><br />
