As you can see here that I have a text box with three submit buttons each redirecting to a different jsp page, however in those jsp pages, when I do request.getParameter("bid"), all I get is null... How can I fix this?

first of all what the javascript methods that you have at the onclick do, and second why don't you submit without the onclick() ? Since it is type="submit" once the button is clicked the form will be submitted anyway.

Yeah, I agree with javaAddict. I don't think you will need the onclick() method for the button anymore. Since you have already declared a action "rent.jsp" for your form.
Your request.getParameters call should be able to work w/o a problem unless your onclick() methods does something else.

That is why I asked for the code of the onclick() methods. He may be going to the other jsp in some way that doesn't pass the parameters at the request.
