[rajesh chowdary]

index.jsp code
"<form  method="post" action="formvalidation.jsp" enctype="text/plain" id="Form2" onsubmit="return Validateuserform(this)">
<div id="wb_Text2" style="position:absolute;left:11px;top:22px;width:55px;height:16px;z-index:0" align="left">
<font style="font-size:13px" color="#FF0000" face="Arial"><b>user id</b></font></div>
<input type="text" id="userid" style="position:absolute;left:74px;top:18px;width:200px;background-color:#FFC0CB;color:#32CD32;font-family:Courier New;font-size:16px;z-index:1" size="20" name="userid"  maxlength="12"></input>
<div id="wb_Text3" style="position:absolute;left:4px;top:50px;width:61px;height:32px;z-index:2" align="left">
<font style="font-size:13px" color="#FF0000" face="Arial"><b>password</b></font></div>
<input type="password"  id="password"
style="position:absolute;left:74px;top:45px;width:200px;background-color:#FFC0CB;color:#32CD32;font-family:Courier New;font-size:16px;z-index:3" size="20" name="password"  maxlength="8">
</input>
<input type="submit" id="Button1" name="submit" value="Submit" style="position:absolute;left:129px;top:83px;width:96px;height:25px;background-color:#FFC0CB;color:#32CD32;font-family:Arial;font-size:13px;z-index:4">
 
</form>"
 
 
 
the above is the login page aftersubmitting it will call formvalidation.jsp
 
formvalidation.jsp code
<%@ page language="java"  import = "java.sql.*" %>
<%
 
String pass,id;
ResultSet rs=null;
Statement st=null;
pass = request.getParameter("password");
id=request.getParameter("userid");
System.out.println(id + " " + pass);
Class.forName("com.mysql.jdbc.Driver");
Connection cn = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:mysql://localhost/cstdb");
 
 
 st = cn.createStatement();
 rs = st.executeQuery("select * from admin_table where userid='"+id+"' and password='"+pass+"'");
 
 
if( rs.next())
{
 
String db_uid=Integer.toString(rs.getInt("userid"));
 
System.out.println(db_uid);
 
String db_pass=(String)rs.getObject("password");
if(db_uid.equalsIgnoreCase(id) && db_pass.equalsIgnoreCase(pass)) 
 {
   
   session.setAttribute("userid",id);
   session.setAttribute("password",pass);
    response.sendRedirect("employeepage.jsp");
 }
   else
  { 
    session.setAttribute("userid",null);
   session.setAttribute("password",null);
    response.sendRedirect("errorindex.jsp");
    }


}
 
 
 
%>

Hi Rajesh,

Next time you post, could you please use code tags, and remove the style information that does not affect the functionality of the page. Posting unformatted code and long style strings makes it hard to read your code.

It looks like the code you posted is okay, as far as I can tell. Can you show us the javascript function you use for validating the form? Don't forget the code tags (there is a [ CODE ] button under the editor which will insert the tags for you).
