hi..
I have a problem ....I have a html page which is having dynamically created text box.Now i have to receive the value of this text box in jsp page.But I do not know how to set the request.getParameter() for dynamically created text box.Boz I do not what is exactly the number of text box created dynamically?.plz help me!!!
You can use request.getParameterName() to find all the name of parameters passed with the request.
See the problem is that only I do know waht is exactly the number of text box boz it is created text box dynamically.So in jsp page how many request.getParameter i set in jsp page that I do not know?
What do you mean by "how many request.getParameter i set in jsp page"?
You should not have any request.getParameter calls in your JSP at all. Scriplets are old and evil.
In a servlet, loop through all the parameter names adding the parameter names and values to, say, a map and you have all the parameter names and values.
What do you mean by "how many request.getParameter i set in jsp page"?
The answer of this question is this thai in html page text box r created dynamically so I do not know the number of text box created.So how many request.getParameter()I set in jsp page?
Still not making much sense.
Are you having problems with creating the textboxes or are you having problems with reading the values set in the dynamically created textboxes?
Do you understand what the request.getParameterNames() method returns?
I do not have problems with creating the textboxes .I have problems with reading the values set in the dynamically created textboxes through request.getParameter()
And do you know what the request.getParameterNames() method gives you then?
Are you reading all parts of the replies I'm posting or just some parts and ignoring the rest?
What is the naming structure of your dynamically created text boxes?
Are they along the lines of "textbox_n" where n is an incremented number?
If so you want a while loop (while (found)) starting at whatever minimum you have for n, and keep going until "textbox_" + n returns null.
I can't remember what you get back if a textbox_n is empty (would that be null or a blank string)...
Or just use request.getParameterNames() to get the names of all the parameters.
The problem with that is, if the number of these things is important then you still have to loop through them to find the largest number.
Presumably the fields (and numbers) mean something?
Of course, as usual, we're playing Guess The Requirements...
I don't see how that is a problem. In fact even if the objective is to find the largest number (which I doubt) then that can still be done in one loop while reading the parameter names enumeration.
Fair point.
I usually see this as a collection of fields, so I find using the id first and simply grabbing the collection of parameters based on the id preferable to going through all the parameter names and then grouping them together. Personal preference...though possibly completely irrelevant to a case with a single field.
