form request.getParamteter (Help please)

[Guest_imported]

Help!!!
I can't get the if statement to execute. I submit a form and one of the values for the form is 1. I submit and it does not notice the code. What am I doing wrong.
To better understand the code, here it is.
<%String Enter=request.getParameter(&quot;answer&quot; %>

<% if (Enter == &quot;1&quot; ){ %>

answer is the parameter that I am bring from the form.

Thank you.

Hello Kurtic19

Please try like this then you will not get any error

<% if (Enter.equals(&quot;1&quot ){ %>

but &quot;Enter&quot; is &quot;Null&quot; it will give null pointer exception so 1st check it like this

<% if( Enter!=null && Enter.equals(&quot;1&quot) {%>

ok if you had any more queries ask me at somasekhar@webveda.com
