"System.out.println(labName);" in LoginAction is not executed.

Welcome to JavaRanch! Please UseCodeTags when posting code or configuration. Unformatted code and configuration is unnecessarily difficult to read. You can edit your post by using the

This doesn't really have anything to do with Struts yet, so I'm moving it to HTML/JavaScript.

1) Why are you using the "new" keyword? You should just be setting xmlhttp to the results of calling the function.
2) Why are you doing Ajax "by hand"? Use a JavaScript framework--it will make you life *much* easier.
