how to send values through request without using form in JSP

Question

I am working on online shopping website like flipkart and want to forward values through request or say just want to append value to URL, But I have not used form so, I can not use form action. For instance consider following situation.

value1<input type="number" min="1" name="value1">
         <a href="somePage.jsp">value1</a>

          value2<input type="number" min="1" name="value2">
         <a href="somePage.jsp">value2</a>

          value3<input type="number" min="1" name="value3">
         <a href="somePage.jsp">value3</a>

I have three input text associated with three hyper link and if I hit any link then value in respective text-box should appended to URL and we go to next page. In this case somePage.jsp?Value=2 something like this....

HTML

<a id="reflectedlink" href="http://www.google.com/search">http://www.google.com/search</a>

I will show you with an example, here on keyup event i am dynamically changing href value.

JAVASCRIPT

<script type="text/javascript">
    var link= document.getElementById('reflectedlink');
    var input= document.getElementById('searchterm');
input.onchange=input.onkeyup= function() {
    link.search= '?q='+encodeURIComponent(input.value);
    link.firstChild.data= link.href;
};

Check the same in https://jsfiddle.net/aadi/pr5j9Lbv/
