Getting selected drop down list box value

Hi,

I had a drop down list box in jsp which values are by calling a function which will return me the values from the database for the user to choose. Then when the user selected a value from the drop down list box and click on a hyperlink i need to pass this value to a java form. I had try using request.getParameter("drop down list box name") but it return a null to me.

How do i get the selected value in the java form?

Hi,

What I mean is how to actually pass the value of the drop down box to a hyperlink. Take for example u had a text box name orgNo how u pass it to the hyperlink?

String params[] = new String[] {IULinkContext.USER_ID+"="+userId, "orgNo="+orgNo , "caseOpt="+caseOpt, "caseType="+caseType};

<a href="<%=HtmlUtil.getURL(request.getContextPath(), "CasesCtrl", "getOrg", params)%>" target="_blank"><img src="<%=request.getContextPath()%>/image/mag.gif" width="12" height="12" border="0"></a>

Your help would be greatly appreciated
