Hi All,
I have joined this club today and I have one big problem which i have been
trying for the past one day.
What I am doing is that I am having a form and I am having a submit button
which opens a child window.The child window stores a value in the parent
window in the hidden field.But when I try to submit the form from the child
window then its not taking the values of the parent window and the i am
getting null pointer exception as the value for the hidden variables in the
parent window is null.
And if try to submit the parent form after asigning the value of the hidden
variable in the child window then My Servlet is not getting executed.Its saying
that document.forms.submit method is not correct.What should i do now?
What should be my Approach?
I am giving the code of the the parent and child jsp:
