Why is Javascript called Javascript, if it has nothing to do with Java?

MIME Issue: When RequestDispatcher is used to forward a request from a Servlet to a JSP page, the CSS and Javascript of that JSP page aren't loading. How to fix this ?

• Error Msg: Upon Element Inspection in Mozilla I'm getting following error msg . The stylesheet .../java/tutorial/mystyle.css was not loaded because its MIME type, “text/html”, is not “text/css”.  And for javascript its showing SYNTAX ERROR msg. Without this forwarding if the JSP page is run, both the CSS and JavaScript called on this page are loading. I've tried adding mime-mapping in my web.xml for css but still its not working. Is it bcoz before forwarding the request I did this... response.setContentType("text/html;charset=UTF-8") ?? How can I load my CSS and Javascript during Request forwarding ??

• Answer:

  Try to clean the browser before loading the page for now I remember the php thing we have used as ob_start() function and ob_end_clean() as well as ob_flush() like functions to clean and load the fresh things according to new data.
