How pass an integer array to a javascript funcion

[k kousalya]

hai all,
can any one please tell me how pass an integer array to a javascript function. I have one jsp page. In that page i have written one javascript function "display(intArray)". I am passing integer array to this function from jsp page. But if i display the values of the array it is showing "NaN".
my javascript function is

 function display(option) {
	var result = "";
	var arr=new Array(option);	
   	for (var i in arr)
   	{
		alert(' inside for looop')
      		result = parseInt(arr[i].valueOf()) ;
  		document.write(result);
   	}
}   

I am passing the integer array to display(opion) is::

  int[] res=new int[2];
           res[0]= rs.getInt(1);
           rest[1]= rs.getInt(4);                                        

Thanks in advance

Are you trying to pass a *Java* array to a JavaScript function?

[Bear Bibeault]

The JSP executes on the server, the JavaScript on the client long after the JSP has finished executing and gone away.

Please read this article tounderstand how JSP works and why what you are asking is impossible.

Rather, use JSP to create the data in JavaScript markup.

My advice is to write a static HTML page with exactly the kind of Javascript you want, including the array of integers the way Javascript wants to see it.

With that as a working example, figure out how you can get JSP to write it.

Try passing the array via String. If you have a pageBean, that's easy to do:

someJSFunction(<%=pageBean.intArrayConvertedToString%>)

Again, that is not "passing the array" -- which you cannot do.

That's using JSP to create JavaScript markup just as William and I have advised.

As a suggestion, there may already be an object out there that will take an array in java and output a JSON formatted string that you can use.
