servlet not running from html file

Hi,

I'm starting with servlets in java and tried deploying the servlet class file in its package com\examples\web
I have a under html file and an also xml file for address mapping. The html file is opening properly in the browser but when I submit it, it looks like no action is being taken... Can you please tell me what I should be looking at?

Thanks,

What's the URL being shown in the browser when you open that HTML file? Does it start with "file:" or "http:"? If the former, then that's not going to work.

The problem is, clicking the submit button takes no action at all, as if it wasn't clicked at all.

Not even an error msg!!

My servlet class is deployed here in
D:\tomcat\webapps\ApplicationOne\WEB-INF\classes\com\examples\web

My html code looks like

I tried opening the web.xml file using xml editor and it did not show any error. It looks like:
It is put under D:\tomcat\webapps\ApplicationOne\WEB-INF

Confused

Oops.. I just found the typo in my html file.
I had typed "form" as "from"
