Returning Parameters from Javascript to Java

[Padmalatha Kontham]

Hi,

My requirement is to write a javascript for opening a confirm box on the click of a button. When the user clicks on "OK" button, the javascript should return a value "true" and when the user clicks on the "Cancel" button, "False" value should be returned.
I need to use these boolean variables outside the java script.
Is it possible for the javascript to return a value which can be used outside the script.


Please suggest me how to write the code for this.

Regards,

Padmalatha,
var result = confirm(); stores the result in a Javascript variable. You can use these within other Javascript on the same page. You can also use JavaScript to set a hidden form field with the value and pass it to Java.

You'll need to explain what you mean by "outside the script". As Jeanne pointed out, you can submit it back to the server via a form submission, but to go into more detail you'll need to be more specific.
