I can't figure out how to make the index work even though I managed to change the index through:

<a href="DrivingTestBrowser?index=<%= newindex%>">

(newindex is a variable with index + 1)

but when i click Next, the page doesn't seem to read the new index and the content stays the same. I have set request's attribute "index" to the new index, no luck. Any idea?

There was a hint in the assignment.

"You can embed the index for the next question in the Next link like "?index=${index+1}"."

Tried that too, didn't work. How do I make the JSP load the new index? the code is correct if the right index is passed to it. Right now it's not.

Any help, please? this is the last step i need before I finish the whole lab.

Your servlet is likely not passing along the new index then.

Check your forward/redirect code to make sure its not sending the exact same thing all the time.

The URL changes to http://localhost:8080/Lab/DrivingTestBrowser?index=1

but the content stays the same.

Some code like.......

<p><a href="DrivingTestBrowser?index=${index}">Next</a></p>

You might be able to have the link go to the jsp and not the servlet since it already made everything you need from it.
