This is a database dictionary page which has two drop-down boxes.
first - for the tables in the database(it displays all the table names in the dropdown.
Second - for the columns of the table selected in the previous dropdown

n then on selecting the column name it should display that particular column values of the in a table format.

in the code below i have not written the code to populate the results to the second drop down... i am jus checkin whether i m gettin the result back from columns.jsp(from where result has to come) or not.

problem is that i am not gettin back the result...

this is the first file from where asynchronous call is made to another file...i.e columns.jsp
