How do I move value from one form to another 1

Lhuffst · Jun 18, 2009

I originally posted this under the javascript forum but was told it was the wrong place. Hopefully, this is the correct forum now.

I am a very very new to this language and am confused.

I have a jsp page that I put an input box.
I want to take that input value and pass it to another page which will eventually be used as a crystal reports parameter. Right now I would be happy to just be able to see the value on the 2nd page.

I am able to go to a second jsp page but I haven't been able to pass the value.

Does anyone have any recommendations on what to read or code suggestions?

I have:

Code:

[COLOR=blue]Dataform.jsp[/color]
Enter Employee Name 
<h:inputText id="empName" styleClass="inputText" ></h:inputText>
<br>
<br>
View/Print Report </hx:jspPanel>
<hx:commandExButton type="submit" value="Submit" id="btnReport" styleClass="commandExButton" style="background-color: #eaffff"
action="#pc_DataForm.goToReportTest}">
</hx:commandExButton>

[COLOR=blue]ON Dataform.java [/color]
public String goToReportTest(){
  return "REPORTTEST";
 }

I enter data on the inputbox and click submit which takes me to the next page ok but I don't know how to take the value from one page and display it on another page.
Any suggestions/help are definitely appreciated. I have spent 3 days just getting this far.
thanks
