Hello, i want to create a page to edit or update user data in the data base.
the thing is, when i click on submit reference number, i want the data for that reference no to automatically appear in the form field that i have prepared under the submit button.
btw, im using jsp. thank you.

this is a snapshot of my page. so when i click on the display record, all the field will be filled with data from the database base on the reference number.

The given code retrieve data from database and display in the html table. At each row, there is a button which consists of that particular id. When the user clicks the particular edit button, that data will get shown in another page and allow the user to update the record.
1)application.jsp:
<%@ page import="java.sql.*" %>
<html>
<head>
<script language="javascript">
function editRecord(id){
var f=document.form;
f.method="post";
f.action='edit.jsp?id='+id;
f.submit();
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<br><br>
<form method="post" name="form">
<table border="1">
<tr><th>Name</th><th>Address</th><th>Contact No</th><th>Email</th></tr>
<%
Connection con = null;
String url = "jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/";
String db = "test";
String driver = "com.mysql.jdbc.Driver";
String userName ="root";
String password="root";
int sumcount=0;
Statement st;
try{
Class.forName(driver).newInstance();
con = DriverManager.getConnection(url+db,userName,password);
String query = "select * from employee";
st = con.createStatement();
ResultSet rs = st.executeQuery(query);
%>
<%
while(rs.next()){
%>
<tr><td><%=rs.getString(2)%></td>
<td><%=rs.getString(3)%></td>
<td><%=rs.getString(4)%></td>
<td><%=rs.getString(5)%></td>
<td><input type="button" name="edit" value="Edit" style="background-color:green;font-weight:bold;color:white;" onclick="editRecord(<%=rs.getString(1)%>);" ></td>
</tr>
<%
}
%>
<%
}
catch(Exception e){
e.printStackTrace();
}
%>
</table>
</form>
</body>
</html>

continue..
