any suggestions...my "weatherState" value doesnt seem to be passing over:

1st jsp:

JSP Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
  1. <%
  2. Vector theStates = WeatherDAO.getWeatherStates();
  3. %>
  4.  
  5.  
  6. <html>
  7. <head>
  8. <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1">
  9. <title>Insert title here</title>
  10.  
  11. </script>
  12.  
  13. <body>
  14.  
  15.  
  16.  
  17.  
  18. <TR bgColor="#ffffff"><TD COLSPAN="2">
  19. <TABLE CELLPADDING="3" CELLSPACING="2">
  20. <TR><TD>
  21.  
  22. </FONT></CENTER><BR>
  23. <BR>
  24. <TABLE BORDER="0" CELLSPACING="5" CELLPADDING="5" WIDTH="100%">
  25. <TR BGCOLOR="#C0C0C0" ><TD COLSPAN="2" ALIGN="CENTER"> <FONT SIZE=+3><B> Weather Services</B></FONT>
  26. </TD></TR>
  27. </TABLE>
  28. <HR SIZE="3" NOSHADE>
  29. <font size=+1>Choose a state and press continue</font><br>
  30. <TR><TD> 
  31. <center>
  32.  
  33. <form name="form1" method="POST" action="/JAABA/jsp/cpanel/cp-weatherFive.jsp">
  34.  
  35. <label for="weatherState">State:</label>
  36.  
  37. <select name="weatherState" >
  38.  
  39. <% for (int i=0; i< theStates.size(); i++) {  %>
  40.  
  41. <OPTION VALUE><%=theStates.elementAt(i)%></OPTION>
  42.  
  43.  
  44.  
  45. <% 
  46. }
  47. %>

2nd jsp:

JSP Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
  1.  
  2. <%
  3. System.out.println("error...: "+request.getParameter("weatherState"));
  4. String sValue = request.getParameter("weatherState");
  5. Vector theCities = WeatherDAO.getWeatherCities(sValue);
  6. %>
  7.  
  8.  
  9. <html>
  10. <head>
  11. <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1">
  12. <title>Insert title here</title>
  13.  
  14.  
  15.  
  16. <body>
  17.  
  18.  
  19.  
  20.  
  21. <TR bgColor="#ffffff"><TD COLSPAN="2">
  22. <TABLE CELLPADDING="3" CELLSPACING="2">
  23. <TR><TD>
  24.  
  25. </FONT></CENTER><BR>
  26. <BR>
  27. <TABLE BORDER="0" CELLSPACING="5" CELLPADDING="5" WIDTH="100%">
  28. <TR BGCOLOR="#C0C0C0" ><TD COLSPAN="2" ALIGN="CENTER"> <FONT SIZE=+3><B> Weather Services</B></FONT>
  29. </TD></TR>
  30. </TABLE>
  31. <HR SIZE="3" NOSHADE>
  32. <font size=+1>Select the State and City for which you would like to receive weather information.</font><br>
  33. <TR><TD> 
  34. <center>
  35.  
  36.  
  37. <label for="weatherCity">City:</label>
  38.  
  39. <select name="weatherCity" > 
  40.  
  41. <% for (int i=0; i< theCities.size(); i++) {  %>
  42.  
  43. <OPTION VALUE=<%=theCities%>> <%=theCities.elementAt(i)%> </OPTION>
  44.

It could probably be because you need to specify id for the select element. Some browsers pass data based on id, others based on the name attribute. To be safe, it is a good practice to define the id and the name.
