Syntax to make a string field in table link to another jsp page.

CrystalVisualBOracle · Aug 10, 2001

Hi all. I have a jsp page that takes a bunch of users and lists them and their user information (firstname lastname etc) in a table.

ie/

Username Firstname Lastname Company StartDate EndDate
ABJ1 John Doe Smith Co 01/01/01 02/02/02
UBL3 Jane Doe Smithe Co 01/01/01 03/02/02

I would like to know the syntax that would enable the user to click on any given username and be taken to the next jsp page where they can edit that user and their given information. Say the next jsp page is called EditUser.jsp.

Here is my excerpt of my code so far. This is all within a while loop that detokenizes a hashtable to retrieve the users information where username is the hashtable key....

%>

<TR valign="top" bgcolor="#CCCCC">
<TD><%= username %></TD>
<TD><%= userid %></TD>
<TD><%= u_firstname %></TD>
<TD><%= u_lastname %></TD>
<TD><%= u_startdate %></TD>
<TD><%= u_enddate %></TD>
<TD><%= company %></TD>
</TR>
<%

I'd appreciate your help with this.

Thanks,

Ok, to start off let me call the page of users, list.jsp, and the individual user page, user.jsp. Following are simple examples of how to get started with each page. Since I don't know the details of your design I can only generalize at some parts.
In list.jsp:

Code:

<TR valign=&quot;top&quot; bgcolor=&quot;#CCCCC&quot;> 
  <TD><a href=&quot;user.jsp?userid=<%= userid %>&quot;><%= username %></a></FONT></TD>
  <TD><%= userid %></FONT></TD> 
  <TD><%= u_firstname %></FONT></TD> 
  <TD><%= u_lastname %></FONT></TD> 
  <TD><%= u_startdate %></FONT></TD> 
  <TD><%= u_enddate %></FONT></TD> 
  <TD><%= company %></FONT></TD> 
</TR>

In user.jsp:

Code:

<html>
<head>
<title>User Edit Page</title>
</head>
<body>
<%
String userid = request.getParameter(&quot;userid&quot;);
if (userid != null && userid.trim().length() != 0) {
  /* Retrieve and display user for edit */
}
else {
  out.println(&quot;No user specified&quot;);
}
%>
</body>
</html>
