[FIXED] Parameter value for an drop down select list in html

Issue

I'm trying to get the value you select in a drop Down list in html into my servlet. I have created the drop Down list in html like this showed under here:

http://jsfiddle.net/pixeldk/TFPX2/3/

What should i write in my servlet, to request the value from the drop Down?

Normally i do it like:

String Name = request.getParameter("name");

I want to get the value you select in the drop Down, into my servlet.

String food = request.getParameter("???")

Solution

You should create a name for Select option.

<select name="food">
<option value="none">Please Select fav food</option>
<option value="Salt">Pizza</option>
<option value="Clorid">Lasagne</option>
</select>

and call it in your servlet program.

String food = request.getParameter("food")
