you will need to submit the form to the JSP page.
That can be done in couple of ways.

using form elements action attribute

or sending an HTTP Get request to the JSP page by adding the data to the URL

so, i can just use document.form[0].submit to submit the form, but without specifying the action ="url". it will just send the request to the page itself. right?
