You can write a java script function which submits the form to your servlet, You can then call this java script function when you click on hyperlink link.

Well if you don't want to learn something new, then you're out of luck.

Why does it have to be a link? A submit button on the form will submit the data automatically.

well, the form contains data i got from a database, put in a arraylist and shown in the form whit a for, so the user can update every data seperatly
if i use a button it would send all the data from the form to update, while i only want the piece of data that needs to be updated

To pick and choose only select parts of the form to submit will require JavaScript.

I've moved this post to the HTML/JavaScript forum as it's not about JSP.

But you're not going to learn JavaScript from a forum. You can get help with particular problems here, but you'll need to find a tutorial or grab a good book to get started.

If you want to go the book route I recommend Head First JavaScript or JavaScript: The Good Parts.
