get method.

Hi I am just starting with JSP and I was wondering if someone would be kind enough to help me. I want to use the get method to send a variable to the next page. I am making a website for football clubs and i have a database witht the following fields:

ClubID
ClubName
ClubManger

On the first page there is a list of clubs names. When you click on the clubs name I want it to bring you to the profile page of that club. So what i want is for when someone clicks on Arsenal, for example, their id number is sent onto the profile.php page and I can get the ClubName and ClubManager fields out of the database using the ClubID.

Please be gentle as I am only starting thanks!!

Thanks in advance,
Colm

ahh, Simply use the Form Submit.... or URL based Parameters.... dats Simple HTML stuff..
check out with
www.w3schools.com

Embed the value in a querystring parameter.

The querystring is separated from the rest of the URL by the '?' character.
It is a series of name/value pairs. Name and value are separated by the '=' character and the pairs are separated by the '&' character.

Example:

Notice that non alpha numeric characters have been URL Encoded (the apostrophe in your last name).
This can be done with the java.net.URLEncoder object.

As Jilesh mentioned, this can also be accomplished with a form submission.

In this case the browser will take care of the encoding for you.
