how to point my jsp form action to servlet?

I am currently using netbean 6.8, tomcat 6.0, and mysql database.
I was having problem when I was trying to point my jsp action to my servlet.(f.action="../fyp.servletLogin";) fyp is the folder that stores my servlet.
Here is my function code in jsp, when user click on submit button, it will calls this login function to pass value to servlet.

function login() {
var f = document.index;
var length;
var userID = f.UserID.value;
var userPwd = f.UserPwd.value;

length = userID.length;
if (length < 1) {
alert("User ID is null. Please key in User ID.");
f.UserID.focus();
return(false);
}

length = userPwd.length;
if (length < 1) {
alert("Password is null. Please key in Password.");
f.UserPwd.focus();
return(false);
}
alert(userPwd.valueOf());
alert(userID.valueOf());
f.method = "POST";
f.action = "../fyp.servletLogin";
f.submit();
}

Hi Friend,

Try the following code:

1)login.jsp:

<script>
function login() {
var f = document.form;
var length;
var userID = f.UserID.value;
var userPwd = f.UserPwd.value;

length = userID.length;
if (length < 1) {
alert("User ID is null. Please key in User ID.");
f.UserID.focus();
return(false);
}

length = userPwd.length;
if (length < 1) {
alert("Password is null. Please key in Password.");
f.UserPwd.focus();
return(false);
}
//alert(userPwd.valueOf());
//alert(userID.valueOf());
f.method = "POST";
f.action = "../servletLogin?user="+userID+"&&pass="+userPwd;
f.submit();
}
</script>
<form name="form">
<table>
<tr><td>Username</td><td><input type="text" name="UserID"></td></tr>
<tr><td>Password</td><td><input type="text" name="UserPwd"></td></tr>
<tr><td><input type="button" value="Submit" onclick="return login();"></td></tr>
</table>
</form>

2)servletLogin.java

import javax.servlet.http.*;

public class servletLogin extends HttpServlet {

public void doPost (HttpServletRequest request,HttpServletResponse response) {
String username=request.getParameter("user");
String password=request.getParameter("pass");

}
}

Thanks
