HTML to Servlet?

[Donna Bachner]

I am trying to get information from my HTML file to my servlet I am using the following code. When I run it the information is not in the right order. How do I change the order?
out.println("<h1>Donna Bachner's Tax Preparation Service</h1>");
out.println("<form>");
Enumeration Name = request.getParameterNames();
String name = (String) Name.nextElement();
out.println(name );
String [] value = request.getParameterValues("name");
name = (String) Name.nextElement();
out.println(name );
value = request.getParameterValues("name");

You don't.
Parameters are stored in a map and, as such, are not guaranteed to be in any particular order. I don't the the browsers are required to send them in any particular order either.

Why do you need them to be ordered?

[Donna Bachner]

I need to do some calculations and I need them displayed in the order the orignal HTML file was printed with the added calculations in the list.

[Ben Souther]

Then give them names that will allow you to get them in whatever order you want.

<input type="text" name="row_count" value="5" /><br />
<input type="text" name="item_0" /><br />
<input type="text" name="item_1" /><br />
<input type="text" name="item_2" /><br />
<input type="text" name="item_3" /><br />
<input type="text" name="item_4" /><br />

  
for(int i = 0; i < rowCount; i++){
  items[i] = request.getProperty("item_" + i);
}

Or something like that....

[Donna Bachner]

I'll try that. Let you know how it works.
