Passing the <div> data to the servlet (ACE - EDITOR)

I have an editor, in which all the user entered text is entered into a tag, now I want to pass this data to a servlet. I've tried using forms but, the value on the servlet side displays a null.

How to do it? and I want to get this data into my doget().

JSP

<form method="post" name="divdata" action="mygeco" target="_blank" > 
<div id="editor">
User enters some text here
</div></form>

<button type= "button" style="position: absolute; right: 11%; top: 30%;" id="execute" onclick="saveTextAsFile()">Click to execute</button>
<script type='text/javascript'> 
function saveTextAsFile()
{
document.divdata.submit();
}

Servlet:

String text = request.getParameter("divdata");
System.out.println(text);

PS: I've also tried passing by url, but this is creating me further problems, apart from this pl suggest if there is any other method.

window.open('http://XXX.XX.XXX.XXX:7774/FirstServlet/mygeco?mytxt=' + myDivText,'_top','resizable=yes');

Solution

i think what you got to do is like the following :

1st - declare your ACE editor with the div like the following :

 <body onload="onloadPage()">

<form method="post" id="divdata" action="mygeco" target="_blank" >
<div id="editor">
User enters some text here
</div>

<textarea id="textArea" ></textarea>
<input type="button" onclick="submitForm()" value="Button"/>
</form>
</body>

2nd - onloadPage() :

  function onloadPage()
{
    // hide the textArea
    document.getElementById('textArea').style.display = "none";
}

3rd - submitForm() :

function submitForm() {

    var editor = ace.edit("editor");
    var code = editor.getSession().getValue();
    document.getElementById('textArea').style.display = "block";
    document.getElementById('textArea').value=code;

    document.getElementById("divdata").submit();
}

4th - get the value in the servlet :

String textArea=request.getParameter("textArea");

and please give me feedback .

Hope that helps .
