Why am I getting a Javascript file instead of my servlet ?

[James Adams <ja...@ucar.edu>]

I have a page (JSP) which contains a form with a servlet as the action
of the form.  However whenever I submit the form I am getting a Not
Found 404 error telling me that a Javascript file which is used for
Javascript on the page is not found.  I am perplexed as to why this is
happening, especially since the Javascript is working as it should.  I
should instead be forwarded to the servlet which will handle the form
parameters.  Can anyone suggest ways to find out what is going wrong
?  Thanks in advance for any suggestions...

Sounds like you may have a:

<script language="JavaScript" src="filename.js">

statement in your returned HTML code.. and the .js file can not be
found...

hope that helps.

If you try the same with explorer you may not face this problem.

This is only one possibility I know. There may be some other reasons which
I cannot guess.

Ok, lets c if you can access your page through IE( thought IE says that
there are errors in page)
and not through Netscape, that means in the result page you have a wrong
path to your javascript file.

Its always possible when you use a relative path in your servlet or jsp
output page
and use servlet to get that page.

I would rather use
<%=request.getContextPath()%>/javascriptDirectory/myjsfile.js

instead of some thing like   ../../javascriptDirectory/myjsfile.js

hope this helps,
Raj
