Way to access textarea from a html form 1

[borntorun]

Hi,

Do you know how i can access the following form, which is in a simple html page.

<form method="post" ACTION="

http://servlet/test.jsp"

name="upform" ENCTYPE='multipart/form-data'>
<p>
<input type="textarea" name="textarea" value="Find in Jsp">
<input type="submit" name="Submit" value="Submit">
<input type="hidden" name="action" value="upload">

</form>

this is my jsp test page.

<%@page language="java" %><%

String filename=request.getParameter("upform.textarea"); // also tried request.getParameter("textarea") //form //upload;

out.println("Try to get text area " + filename);


%>

No luck whatsoever.

Thanks for any help.

Hi,

If the html form is using ENCTYPE="multipart/form-data" then you cannot assess the parameters by calling request.getParameter(String s);
Generally Enctype is used when you want to uplaod files to the server.
