I am calling a javascript function on click of anchor tags in a jsp.
In jsp i have one hidden parameter(actionID) as well, whose value i am setting up in called javascript function.
But when i am trying to fetch this value in servlet using request.getParameter, i am not receiving it.
Please suggest.
Here is the code:
home.jsp:
<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript">
function func1(str) {
document.getElementById("actionID").value = str;
document.forms["action"].submitTestPost.click();
}
</script>
<title>Home</title>
</head>
<body>
<div class="menubar">
<form id = "action" action="/" method="post">
<input type="hidden" id="actionID">
<a href="#" onclick="func1('ViewEmployeeDetails')"> View Employee Details </a><br>
<a href="#" onclick="func1('addLocation')"> Add New Location </a><br>
<a href="#" onclick="func1('addCluster')"> Add New Cluster/Sub Cluster </a><br>
<a href="#" onclick="func1('CreateReport')"> Generate Report </a><br>
<input type="submit" name="submitTestPost" value="x">
</form>
</div>
</body>
</html>
