I want to set the value for the html hidden tag through Java Script and i want to use that hidden tag value in a jsp page.

i.e

<input type=hidden value=" " name="hid">

<script langauge="javascript">
//here i want to asign the value for the hidden input tag....

</script>

<%

//here i want to retreive the value into a variable....

%>

kanth varad, this is the fifth topic you've posted with the title "Jsp & Javascript". This makes it impossible to tell them apart. Please read this for more information.

I've changed the title of this topic to something more approriate, please do so on your own in future posts.

<%
String someVariable = "SomeValue";
%>

<input type=hidden value="<%= someVariable %>" name="hid">

<script langauge="javascript">
//here i want to asign the value for the hidden input tag....
//Write whatever javascript you wish to write keeping in mind that is
//is going to execute at the client and not the server.
</script>

<%

//here i want to retreive the value into a variable....
//Not possible as you assign it in JSP which goes to client. Next the
//client will send back the value to some JSP again.
%>

As Niki pointed out, what you are asking to do is impossible. Please read this article for details on why.

I've already tried to tell him twice yesterday but...

Yes, you're right Satou. This isn't really much different a question than the one posted here, so I'm closing this topic.
