I have a maddeningly simple question I can't seem to get resolved with the resources to hand.

I've got a simple, simple task. I've got a page "details.asp" which gives details about an item. There are 18 such items. I'm making a simple NEXT/PREV set of buttons, and want to have it just go to the next item.

If I have details.jsp?id=1, I have code which says:

String theID;

theID = request.getParameter("id");

This makes "id" a string, however, and I can't increment it or do anything with it. How do I make a query string element into an integer which I can increment?

Any help would be great.
