    Default How to call Servlet using ajax

    Excuse me,
    My name is Pragathi.
    What am i asking is how to call servlet using ajax sample examples.
    So please give me suggestions to me and mail me some examples on it.

    I have a form that is designed in a JSP. This form has 2 dropdown lists such that first one has fixed options and second one has to be populated dynamically (according to the option selected by user in first dropdown list) from the without database . This is the task that I have to perform.

    Hi,

    I understand what you want to do in your application. I guess you have not searched in web.

    Please refer to Call servlet from Ajax - Stack Overflow

    hi,

    document.getElementById('statediv').innerHTML=req. responseText;

    In this statement, you are not created the div element. So create div element within body tage like below

    <div id="statediv"></div>

    Try this it may helpful

    Thanks,

    Create a div id for the 2nd drop down. responsetext should be set in the inner HTML of 2nd drop down element.

    Follow the link ajax - populate dropdown on change of another using servlet - Stack Overflow

    Sorry, currently I dont have the exact workspace and jar files ready to code and test the solution before giving it to you. Please refer to the link above and give a try, hopefully by day after tomorrow I will set up a new project with your content and provide a better solution.
    Thanks and regards,
