title: Calling a Servlet from a JSP page using jQuery Ajax
body: <p>I know there are quite a few related question here but none that actually relate to my question have an answer attached.  Or at least an accepted answer.  Happy to be wrong in this if someone can point me to the question.  Also please retag if I've miss-tagged.</p>
  
  <p>My question, as the title says is that I want to call a Servlet from my JSP page and return a string, or html.</p>
  
  <p>My Servlet name is MyFirstServlet.</p>
  
  <p>Could you please, please be very specific in any answers as I am a complete JSP, Java and Servlet noobie.</p>
  
  <p>Thank you very much in advance.</p>
