You have done it incorrectly.
You need to set the src to a URL that will invoke the servlet, such as
iframe.src = "/Path/To/Something";
If you want to send a POST request, you'll need to create a <form action="/Path/To/Something" target="IFrameName"> and call submit().
Note that it is more efficient to use AJAX, with an XMLHttpRequest. The easiest way to do that is with jQuery:
$.get("/Path/To/Something");
(Although you would want to call $.post)

just let it be
post(..) (it's what he wants)There are two ways to POST to a server:
- submit a
<form>withmethod="POST" - use ajax and specify
POSTas method
All other options are invoking GET
That said, MyServlet is unlikely to be a valid path. You need to specify the path that you configured as <url-pattern> in web.xml
