Re: Need Suggestions

Michael,

Look up how to use sessions and cookies.  Assuming that the data is not too
confidential, or too much.  Another alternative is to build a table on the
server side and just put enough information on the returned page to point
you back into the table.  One of the IBM examples shows how to do this for
logon information.

Subject:  Need Suggestions


Hello,

I have written a java servlet that generates an input page (3 input
fields).
when the submit button is clicked another servlet is called that takes that
input and produces a result.
The question is this. When the submit button is clicked on the second page
(result page) I want to pass
along the same 3 input fields from the first page to the next page but
these
input fields do not exist on the result page.
Is there a way to carry unseen data thru page to page in the html? Is there
a better way in java? I tried <input type="hidden"> but this only stops the
browser from displaying it. The values of the hidden field show up in the
generated html.

THANKS in ADVANCE!
