EASY POINTS, I know you're not working! JSP parameter passing using Post form

--------------test.jsp-----------------------
<html>
<form action="getValues.jsp" method="post">
<input disabled type="text" name="test" value="myTest" >
</form>
</html>
---------------------------------------------

-------------getValues.jsp------------------
<html>

<h1> <% request.getParameter("test"); %> </h1>

</html>
--------------------------------------------------

is that suppose to display "myTest" on the getValues.jsp page?

yes it does, it displays it as a disabled text field. Meaning, I will be unable to edit the field which is extremely necessary.
I will try your suggestion

No beans, it didn't work with removing the disabled

hey that worked, removing the ";"!

really quick, why do I do remove the ";" in <%= request.getParameter("test") %> but keep it with

<%
request.getParameter("test") ;
%>

<% is for scriptlet, <%= is for evaluating expression and it doesn't require ;

oh yea. btw, your suggestion to remove the disabled did work too.

with the text field disabled it contains a Null value. that's very unfortunate.....
