displaying result in text field

[shanmuganand_s]

hi, i hava a text box and a button in 1 page. for example let us say that i enter a employee number in that textfield(which is already there in the database). And when i press the ok button other deatils like employee salary, employee address must be fetched from the database and should be displayed in the next page in a textfield. Is there any predefined methods like setText or setString. please help if coding is there it will be very helpful for me. byeeeee

Are you talking about HTML forms or Java swing widgets? For JTextbox widgets, there is a method setText(). For example:

JTextbox txt = new JTextbox();
txt.setText("this is the text to display");

Hope this helps.

yes iam talking about HTML forms only. iam using jsp also to connect it with the database. in that i have used both setText and setString methods but that doesn't work.
