Hello,

I am trying to design a page which has a textarea and a button that says "say something", assume the page is "test.jsp". If a user hit that "say something" button, browser redirects to another page where user can enter anything they want, assume the page is "test1.jsp" . After they hit submit button, the text user just typed should appear in the textarea of test.jsp page.
Can anyone tell me how to do this?

can I do something like
String t = request.getParameter("formName")
Is this the way to tackle this problem?

Thanks,
