How to link to the two jsp files

Question

Hi,
In my project I have three files.
1.index.jsp
2.help.jsp
3.result.jsp
So index.jsp contains one label,one text and two buttons.
I already solved that after enter the id in the text box, i click result button to see the result.So I call the result.jsp in my form tag.
<form method="post" action="response.jsp">But Now I also want that when I click help button help.jsp whould be loaded.
can I put two forms to do?
How can I identify this form to this button?
will you please give some idea to do this.
Thank you so much.
Meena.

99% of it is javascript and not jsp.
'result' is a javascript string variable. The submitForm() function accepts this variable and assigns it as the value to the hidden field.
When button1 is clicked, 'result' is the string that is passed to the function. So the hidden field's value is set to 'result'. Similarly when the second button is clicked, 'help' is the string that is passed and the hidden field's value is set to 'help'.
The first parameter to the function is the form object which is used inside the function to submit the form after the hidden field has been assigned a value.
what action I have to mention.because I have two jsp files result.jsp or >response.jsp?Mention a standard action, say chooser.jsp. So the request always gets submitted to chooser.jsp
Now remember the hidden field will contain information as to which button was clicked. Based on that, shooser.jsp will forward to either result.jsp or help.jsp
In chooser.jsp
<%if(request.getParameter("type").equals("result")){%>
        <jsp:forward page="result.jsp"/>
<%}else{
        <jsp:forward page="help.jsp"/>
<%}%>Hope that helps,
