ok so I want a value to be inputed by the user in a text box so that <PARAM NAME="USERNAME" ID="USERNAME" VALUE="user"> when I input Butterfly it should change into this: <PARAM NAME="USERNAME" ID="USERNAME" VALUE="Butterfly"> How can I do this? I am sorry I am a newbie programmer just taking my first semester of java and so I am not sure on how to make a user inputed value.
