if(request.getParameter("number")==isum)

Problem is in this line(line 20)
Replace it by this

    if(request.getParameter("number")!=null && Integer.parseInt(request.getParameter("number"))==isum)

Also make the following change in the body tag

<body>

        <input type="button" value="go" onclick="doTheGObutton();">
        <form action="index.jsp" method="post">
          <%=fib1%> + <%=fib2%> = <input type="text" name="number">
        <input type="submit" value="continue" name="submit">
        </form>
</body>

This is required as the input text "number" is outside form so will not be submitted and write the name of submit button as "submit" as you are checking that in your code.
