getParameter() from METHOD=Post vs HREF

Hi

I've got a jsp that checks for parameters from a calling HTML.

When the calling HTML uses the <FORM> tag with METHOD="POST"

and <INPUT type="text" name="email" value="">

<form action="logon.jsp" method="post">

<table>

<tr><td>E-mail<td><INPUT type="text" name="email" value="">

<tr><td>Password<td><INPUT TYPE=PASSWORD name="mypassword">

<tr><td><input type="submit" value="Logon" class="submitButton">

<td><a href="NewAccount.jsp">New Account</a>

</table>

</form>

In the code when the submit button is used, all works fine. I can get access to the "email" parameter.

But when the link is use "New Account", the paramter "email" always returns null.

So when a jsp page is called, is there a way to access the objects on the page that send the request ?

Thanks
