Simple NetBeans servlet, button won't work - java

I'm starting off in NetBeans, and implementing a form which, when you press the "submit" button, performs validation and tells you if the data entered is correct. I haven't gotten to the validation part yet, for the moment all I'm trying to do is, when the "submit" button is clicked, a message pops up. I'm having trouble here, I have a feeling its a quick simple fix but I'm not finding anything on message boards or documentation.
EDIT - Thanks guys! was missing the "form" tag. I figured it would be simple, thanks again for your help everyone!
Here's my index.html file:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<!--

<html>
<head>
<title>Client Information</title>

<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
</head>
<body>
<div><h1>Client Information</h1><table border="1">
<tbody>
<tr>
<td>First Name</td>
<td><input type="text" name="FirstName" value="" size="50" /></td>
<td>Surname</td>
<td><input type="text" name="Surname" value="" size="50"/></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Age</td>

<td><input type="text" name="Gender" value="" size="1" maxlength="1"/></td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
<input type="submit" value="Submit" name="validation" />
</div>
</body>
</html>
And here is the ClientInformationServlet.java file, most important is the processRequest method, and if (request.getParameter("validation")!= null) line is where I am trying to have the action take place.

The HTML specification states
The elements used to create controls generally appear inside a FORM
element, but may also appear outside of a FORM element declaration
when they are used to build user interfaces. This is discussed in the
section on intrinsic events. Note that controls outside a form cannot
be successful controls.
A <input> element for submit is a control. Therefore, if it appears outside a <form>, as you currently have it, clicking it won't do anything.
Nest your <input> elements (and whatever other display elements) within a <form> which specifies the action and method to use to submit your data.

You should add
<body><form action="/clientinformationservlet" method="POST">
....
</form></body>
inside the body.

If you want to submit then you should have a <form> in your htmml
e.g.
<form name="input" action="/clientinformationservlet" method="POST">
// your inputs
</form>

Java Servlet And JSP problems

I am beginning to learn servlet . I had issue try to get url from a folder(outside my project) which contains many images but i don't know how to display them in jsp (GrassFish Server). i try with some code but it don't working correctly .Simply outputting to HTML does not seem to work.

Write your doGet method to forward at registration.jsp like this
protected void doGet(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response)
throws ServletException, IOException {
request.getRequestDispatcher("/registration.jsp").forward(request, response);
}
Another thing in error message map showing /HotelReservation/Registration
but in web.xml file servlet mapping is /registration. So hit correct url

Unable to pass data from JSP to Servlet using JQuery

However the servlet do not print the value, which means the JQuery didn't pass anything. What have I done wrong here?
Set a breakpoint in you doGet method and step through the code to see whether it is not executed at all or whether it is executed, but throws an exception.
Additionally, you should monitor your AJAX call in the browser (e.g., by looking at the network connections in the developer view available in all modern browsers) and reviewing the returned header and content of the AJAX call.

Request Attributes not clearing after request is over

I am having a problem with request attributes in my jsp, I am using the mvc pattern and setting a request attribute and forwarding to a jsp from the servlet. The application is a banking application, the goal is to use the customer id to get the customer by customer id pass it to the Account class to collect all of the accounts of the user. I have this problem solved I can get the account information and process it without any issue. The problem I am having is when I close the page and run again from the beginning I find that when I get to the table it is still putting in the information from the previous request as well as the new information that I am requesting. Like So:
()
My code is as follows for the servlet that directs me to the jsp and the jsp that I use the information into.

I am not really sure what is going on I started with session attributes and thought that was my issue, so I turned to using request attributes. But I am still facing the same issue. I was under the impression that the request attribute only lasted per that request but it seems that the information is still being carried through. Any suggestions?
The funny thing about this issue is that it wasn't anything to do with the request attribute variables. Since I was instantiating a list of objects in a class that list of objects was persisting and just being added to. I think this is mostly because I was using an ArrayList which is able to be appended to. Instead of re-writing the entire class to figure out some work around I included a try{}finally{} statement like so:

*/
public void clearAccounts(){
this.custAccounts.clear();
}

the page is getting submited but the values that i set for hidden variable is not coming in servlet also i have a text box that value also is not coming to servlet when submitting the page.
Kindly help me to find out this.
You should do this:
funtiontype =request.getParameter("funtiontype");
acctcode = request.getParameter("acctcode");
Try this..
function logintosystem(){
document.frmLogon.funtiontype.value="logon";
document.frmLogon.submit();
}
Update:
String funtionType = request.getAttribute("funtiontype") == null ? request.getParameter("funtiontype") : request.getAttribute("funtiontype");
String acctCode = request.getAttribute("acctcode") == null ? request.getParameter("acctcode") : request.getAttribute("acctcode");
