Inserting parameters into hyperlink dynamically

[Rajesh Khan]

Hi i wanted to know if there was a way to insert content into a hyperlink dynamically. I mean i have something like this in table cell.

 <a href="LinkInfo" onclick="Flink()"> ${val} </a>

but Flink() is a javascript function which has a variable and a value which needs to be appended to the link so the link should like like this in the end

         <a href="LinkInfo"?variable=value > .. </a>

Is there any way in which i could make java script append that value ?? The only way i thing that is possible is to assign it a id. Traverse through the dom and then change the inner text.If i do that I still think it wont work since the link has already been clicked.

If the parameters to pass are well defined, one easy approach is to define a form with the parameters you want, then populate the input fields and submit the form via javascript.
Another would be to build up a url in a javascript string (don't forget to escape the necessary values), and then set it via window.location.href
All of that is javascript rather than JSP.

something like this:

<script>
  function Flink(obj, value){
    var url = obj.href;
    url = url + '&variable=' + value;
    window.location.href = url;
    return false;
  }
</script>


<a href="LinkInfo" onclick="Flink(this, '${val}')"> ${val} </a>
