right, that is what I am looking to do.
alright, so like mark said, the scriptlets are going to process beforehand. And one of those was setting the form into session where I could pull it down on the next page. Obviously this isn't going to work because this input comes after that session variable has already been set.
Since both of these pages are using the same form and I want the same data, is there a way I can get it to not reset the form either in the
jsp or action or perhaps another way I can put the form into the session through the javascript (I don't think js has that ability)?
