Hello

i have created a webpage for a project using jsp in netbeans.

I have created a listbox. I want it to display data from database(MS-access) and I should then be able to modify data in database like I should be able to change an entire record through the listbox when i enter the id(field)

when i enter the id it should show the data of all the fields in a listbox and then i can should be able to change the entries in the database.

The question is?
And the code you try to achieve this so far?

In this code i wish to make changes in my database through the update query through a listbox.
My question is ..how do i modify the data through a listbox or a drop down menu?(after I enter the id in mywebpage)
