How to transfer the table data as a parameter?

[royboy75]

Hello,

I have a table looking something like this:

<tr>
 <td> A </td>
 <td> <a href="page.jsp"></a>
</tr>
<tr>
 <td> B </td>
 <td> <a href="page.jsp"></a>
</tr>
[code]

I would like to transfer to the jsp as a parameter the content of the <td> tag (A and B in this case).
How can I do it?

Not sure what you're exactly trying to do, but at first sigth you just need to include the table in a form.

What I am trying to achieve is this:
I have a table with a data cell and a link cell. I would like to use the string in the cell as the title in the 2nd page and for that I need to transfer it with the URL. I don't see how this link helps me...
Can you perhaps elaborate this with a simple code example?

Thanks,
Roy

<table>
<tr>
<td> Hello </td>
<td> <a htref="someJSP.jsp"> </a></td>
</table>

I would like to concatenate the "Hello" to the URL as a parameter.

<table>
<tr>
<td> Hello </td>
<td> <a htref="someJSP.jsp?param=Hello"> </a></td>
</table>

Dian,

No, I want to dynamically take it, I don't want to hardcode it. I think I need to give the <td> a name or id and than access it's data from JSP. That's what I am aiming for.

Include the table in the form, and set the action of the form to the JSP, as shown in the tutorial.

Cheers,
Dian

Here's a clue. You need to use <input> tags in those parts of your <form> which contain (or accept from the user) data to be POSTed to the web server. The POST won't just suck up any trivial piece of HTML content.
