Answer 1

<input type="submit" onclick="only Javascript function can be called here"/>

if you want to access html form elements at java code you need to submit your form at some controller or another jsp. Like..

<form name="new_employee" method="post" action="../admin/newEmployee.do">
  Name :<input type="text" name="employeeName"/>
  Address: <input type="text" name="add"/>
  Age:<input type="text" name="age"/>
  <input type="submit" value="Submit"/>
</form>

form elements can be accessed from generated request by their names like..

request.getParameter("employeeName");
