Javascript variable inside jsp scriplet

Hi,

is there any way to pass a javascript variable value to a variable inside a scriplet in a JSP. ( this needs to be achieved without submitting the form)

Thanks,
Neeraj

I don't think it's possible. You can pass JSP value to javascript, but not the other way around.

One thing that needs to be understood is that Javascript and your JSP scriptlets are interpreted at different times, on different machines.

The scriptlet is interpreted on the server. It's output is the HTML and javascript that goes to the browser.
The HTML is rendered, and the Javascript is interpreted in the client (browser). The scriptlet code never goes to the browser and it has already finished being interpreted at this point.

No, you can't. What you can do is to use the value of JSP variables to create JavaScript that contains these values. But you can't "pass" anything.

Please read this article to understand why there can be no "passing" in either direction.

in process.jsp you can get value of "javascriptvar"

getting value in that page itself is not possible

Submitting a value to another JSP is not what the original poster was asking about.
