 You are not submitting a form. In the html you need to have a form and you
must submit it:
<head>
<script>
function submitMyForm() {
myform.submit();
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<form name="myform" method="post">
<input type="text" name="mytext">
<a href="javascript:submitMyForm();">submit</a>
</form>
this will send the input values to the server
