in fact its only commonality with Javascript is that it's a mess (which it happens to have in common with php as well).

> Javascript is amazing, I didn't think you could touch mysql with it!

You can't, at least not with browser embedded Javascript. It's a different ball game altogether if you are using Server Side Javascript.

The code you have written is correct... but java is a case sensitive language so might be there is some problem with the case..

check it carefully

To tell you the truth, the code is not correct. This line
is definately false (and the cause of the sql error, as noted earlier). Where is the closing quote (') after the variable questionin? And why are there no quotes around any of the others?

All this would not be a problem if the OP would two things that she should always do, and should have done from the beginning (but she probably learned from tutorials on roseindia, they love pushing this dope), which are:

1) Use a PreparedStatement. Do not cobble together a Statement like this. It is error prone in the coding, error prone in the execution (what happens if one of the variables contains a quote (') itself), and wide open to SQL injection attacks.

2) Don't use scriplets. They only still exist for backwards compatability and it is strongly reccommended not to use them anymore.
