Query values in a form

Question

I'm trying to use a form to display query values and then pass a value to another page for processing. Here's part of my code
<%
rs = statement.executeQuery("SELECT * FROM users WHERE start_date > '7/1/2001');
%>
<table>
<form name = "form1" action = "xyz.jsp" method = "get">
<% while(rs.next()) %>
<tr>
<td><%out.println(rs.getString("user_id);%></td>
<td><%out.println(rs.getString("user_name);%></td>
<td><input type ="hidden",
name="user"
value="<%out.println(rs.getString("user_name));%>">
<input type="Submit" value = "Do it">
</td></tr></form></table>
In the form that I'm calling I have this code to receive the value:
String user_in = requet.getParameter("user");
The problem that I'm having is if the query returns 10 records and the user_id are numbers 1- 10. When I select the second user_id (user_id = 2) to submit, it is always passing the value of the first record (ie user_id = 1). How can I code this to make it pass the correct value?

Answer 1

How are you selecting second user ? I dont see anything relates to that in your code.
I dont under stand problem completely but when you create hidden fields in a loop with same name it create create duplicate hidden fields with same name and different values
replace hidden field code with this
<%int i =1; %>
<input type ="hidden",
name="user"+'<%=i%>'
value="<%out.println(rs.getString("user_name));%>">
<%i=i++;%>
