How to pass a Dynamic String value into a Form..???

Question

Hi all...,
I'm trying to use a JSP to search "audios" stored in a "Audios" table & display the result list in another JSP. (This task was successful).
Now I want to "Rate" these by taking the "Audio Name" as the key. My coding looks as follows...
List myList = (List)request.getAttribute("SongList");
Iterator itr = myList.iterator();
while(itr.hasNext())
String mySongName = (String)itr.next();
out.println("<form name="SongRatingForm" action="ControllerServlet.java" method="post" >");
out.println("<input type="What is the type here? (is there something like a LABEL)" name="MySongList" value="How can I insert 'mySongName' here">");
out.println("</form>");
Thanks in advance..,

Hi, please use the 'code' tags; select the text and click the code button when you're posting, it makes things easier to read.
> out.println("<input type="What is the type here? (is
there something like a LABEL)" name="MySongList"
value="How can I insert 'mySongName' here">");
Where do you want to print this? If it is to appear in a text-box, then the input type should be "text". If it is a button ( really?? ) it should be "button" or "submit" or "reset".
If you just want the text to print, then you don't need to create and <input/> tag. Just print it out like
<%=mySongName%>It could be the contents of a <td> of a <table>
Or you could use a <label> tag:
<label> <%=mySongName%></label>
