Access HTML hidden field value in JSP

Hi,
I have a JSP and need to access the hidden fields on that HTML page,

<form name="login">
<input type="hidden" name="language" value="en">
</form>
in my jsp i want to read the value of hidden field language
how can i do it???

You read it as any other field :
String lng=request.getParameter("language");
The string lng will contain the value "en"

    I when I click one of them, I want to reload my page with new request parameter(s) but also keep the older one(s) in hidden field(s)...
    but I dont know how to set and get hidden field value "syntax" and I am not sure about where/when should I do this... at first I though that I can do it in "onClick" property of url..
    Thanks..

    Hy,
    I have a problem just like that. I am trying to send the value of an subdomain is to another page to be able to modify an entry.
    So in listsubdomains.jsp I have
    <input type = "hidden" name = "subdomainid" value="<%=subdomains.SubdomainID%>"><%=subdomains[i].SubdomainID%>.
    This shouls send the id of the subdomain.
    I an sending this to modifysubdomain.jsp with <form name = "listsubdomains" method = "post" action = "modifysubdomain.jsp">
    and there I retrieve the value like this:
    Integer id = new Integer (request.getParameter("subdomainid"));
              out.println(request.getParameter("subdomainid"));
    My problem is that no matter what is the value I chose to modify it always sends the first value. If I another value manually it works, but just then.
    Please give me some ideas.

  • Not able to retrieve netui hidden field values in java script

    I have problem in retrieving hidden field values in javascript

    Hi,
    I'm a new bee to this adobe forms and VBS.Could you explain more on that Fdf file or Can you send some documentation where i can go through of.
    Even i'm very much happy to share the pdf file..the problem is it is binded with the SAP browser.So i cant make a copy to my local system,But i can explain all the technical stuffs inside the form.
    The form is developed using adobe lifecycle designer,i can see the fields are defined in the design view.
    The fields which i'm accessing to enter the values are visible & Set user defined values..
    when you access through the SAP portal,it opens up inside the browser ..so every field you choose or select additional fields get added based on the selection..
    The "GetField" code you have shared works perfectly fine..i could read all data,or i could select a particular field to retrieve the field.
    But the "SetField" code you have shared locating the field but it is not writing the value into the field.I called a setfocus method on the particular field as well..then put f.value = fieldvalue still it chooses the particular field but didnt feed the value...
    is it possible to call a keystroke to the particular field?
    if you have any ideas please throw it up on me..i'll try all my possibilities.
    Thanks for your time !

  • Hidden field value init. by a var in Netscape && MSIE ...

              Hi there,
              I have a hidden field specified this way :
              <input type = "hidden" name = <%=myName%> value = "<%=myValue%>">
              Suppose that myValue is 'Ionut RUSUBOCA'
              If I run this with Netscape 4.75 it works just fine.
              If I run this with Microsoft IE 5.50.4522.1800 I get an error that points to the
              way the hidden field value is specified.
              If I change ...... value = "<%=myValue%>" ..... to .... value = <%=myValue%>
              ... ( that is, if I remove the double quotes ) then MSIE is Ok but ... instead
              of 'Ionut RUSUBOCA' I only get 'Ionut'.
              Could you, please, help me make MSIE see the correct value that is 'Ionut RUSUBOCA'
              ? ( like Netscape )
              Which browser are not W3C compliant in this matter ?
              Thank you,
              rivisa
              

              Thanks for the reply.
              Well, I quoted everything and still does not work with MSIE.
              Indeed, when I quote value="<%=myValue%>", I get in MSIE value = "Ionut RUSUBOCA"
              but it does not make any difference : it breaks.
              If I take out the quotes ( value = <%=myValue%> ) then the source is viewed as
              value = Ionut RUSUBOCA and when the form
              gets submitted I only get 'Ionut' as value.
              This is weird, so to speak.
              Can you reproduce this thing in your system ?
              Thanks,

  • No. of hidden fields in a jsp..

    Hi,
    I would like to know if there is any limit to the no. of hidden fields in a jsp page. What effect does the page/browser have if there are many hidden fields(like about say 50) in a single page.
    any ideas.
    thanks
    jag

    The only limitations I know about are in HTTP itself.
    GET request on Internet Explorer supports a maximum of 2,048 characters
    (ex. http://whatever.com/index.jsp?id=23&hidden1=2912912&hidden2=123987123)
    POST request not sure of the limitations but I know its more than 2,048
    hope this helps

  • Accessing entity class field values in a visual JSF page

    There is a convenient way to access a session values into a JSF visual page using the following:
    String mySessionValue = (String) getValue("#{sessionScope.name}");Like the same, are there any ways to access entity class field values into a visual JSF page? Are there any concepts similar to "entityClassDataProvider" that can be linked to a table component in a visual JSF page?
    Thank you.

    My question is about (Netbeans visual pack) Java Persistence API and how to display the information from an entity class to a JSF page. But the above mentioned tutorial is about the ordinary visual table presentation.
    Thank you.

  • How to pass hidden field values on a click of a table row

    hi all,
    href = "bookAndNonBook.do"
    I am very new to struts. I have created a table using displaytable tag which displays results in a tabular format. In addtion, i have a hidden field (prodType), the table rows are getting highlighted when i get my mouse on a particular row.
    Following is the code from the results.jsp file
    <body
    onload="addRowHandlers('row', 'rowMouseOver')"
    bgcolor="#FFFFFF" text="#000000" leftmargin="100" topmargin="50"
    marginwidth="" marginheight="" rightmargin="30">
    <html:form action="/bookAndNonBook" method="post">
    <display:table name="sessionScope.productSearchList" id="row"
    sort="list" export="true" defaultsort="1" defaultorder="ascending"
    pagesize="15" decorator="org.displaytag.decorator.TotalTableDecorator"
    class="dataTable">
    <display:column property="prodType" title="ProdType" class="prodType"
    headerClass="prodType" media="html" />
    <display:column title="Title" property="titleName" sortable="true"
    class="title" headerClass="title" />
    </display:table>
    </html:form>
    </BODY>
    I am calling a funtion addRowHandlers which passes the table id (which is row) and the rowMouseover for highlighting the rows on mouse over.
    the code for function addRowHandlers is
    function addRowHandlers(tableId, rowClassName) {
    var previousClass = null;
    var table = document.getElementById(tableId);
    var rows = table.getElementsByTagName("tr");
    for (i = 1; i < rows.length; i++) {
    rows.onmouseover = function () {
    previousClass = this.className;
    this.className = this.className + " " + rowClassName ;
    this.style.cursor="hand";
    rows.onmouseout = function () {
    this.className = previousClass;
    this.style.cursor='';
    rows.onclick = function (){
    var cell = this.getElementsByTagName("td")[0];
    var ProdType = cell.innerHTML;
    alert("value of prodType = " + ProdType);
    when i run the above code and click on a particular row it returns me the value in the hidden field i.e. prodType for that particular row
    Now where i am having problem is i want that on the basis of prodType my jsp file should call different actions for different prodType as returned....somwhat a function like this
    function submitProduct(prodType) {
    if(prodType == "BK")
    resultsForm.action = "/bookProduct.do";
    else if(prodType == "NB")
    resultsForm.action = "/nonbookProduct.do";
    but i am unable to figure out that how do i this..
    Any help will be really appreciated
    Thanks

    can you please suggest some good struts forums where i can post my question
    thanks in advance

  • Can't set a hidden field value from onClick event with a runtime expression

    Hi,
    I need to set a hidden field in an onClick event of button but it's not working.
    <html:submit styleClass="btnLink" onclick="document.empForm.hidden.value='<%= empID%>'">
    <%= empID%>
    </html:submit>
    Althought the second expression is evaluated and written successfully "the button value"
    I heard that this is because you can't mix the value of an attribute of a custom tag with both string literal and run time expressions.
    Is there any work around to solve that?
    I can't use EL as I'm using old JSP version

    I guess, it should work; instead of html:submit, try with button.

  • Hidden Field Value

    I want to import a value from a visible field to a hidden
    field. The data will be sent to a mySQL DB via php. I've tried
    changing the php script to obtain the results I want
    unsuccessfully. A hidden field should also do the trick but I'm not
    sure how to accomplish the task. A google search turned up some
    javascript which I've been working with today, but still haven't
    gotten to work correctly.
    Basically, the form has a text field called duration. I want
    the user inputed value of the duration field to be copied to a
    hidden field called xc. Thanks for any input or ideas?

    BTW, using the following onSubmit and script works correctly
    as the database receives the information, but a pop-up is triggered
    when the Submit button is pressed. Any ideas why this is?
    If I can rid the pop-up, the js will work great.
    function CopyValue(obj1, obj2)
    var visibleField = obj1;
    obj2.value = visibleField.value;
    alert(obj2.value);
    onSubmit=CopyValue(duration, xc)

  • How to set hidden field value in form?

    I've encountered a problem while developing a forum using JSF. See this code:
    <h:form id="commmentForm" formName="commentForm" >
         <h:input_hidden id="pageId" valueRef="CommentBean.pageId" value="${article.id}"/>
         <h:input_text id="userName" valueRef="CommentBean.userName"/>
         <h:input_text id="userEmail" valueRef="CommentBean.userEmail"/>
         <h:input_text id="userURL" valueRef="CommentBean.userURL"/>
         <h:input_textarea id="content" valueRef="CommentBean.content"/>
         <h:command_button id="submit" label="Leave A Comment" commandName="submit" actionRef="CommentBean.createAction" />
    </h:form>
    I was trying to specify a hidden field that represents the unique ID number of the current article using <h:input_hidden> tag above. But RI complains that runtime expression is not permitted in 'value' attribute. So I set the attribute 'value' to arbitrary number such as '2', but it seems that CommentBean.pageId is still null.
    So the question is:
    1. Why can't I use EL in JSF tags attributes?
    2. How can I resolve my problem mentioned above?
    Thanks very much in advance!

    To solve the problem, you have to use two hiddenfields, say:
    <h:input_hidden id="pageId"valueRef="CommentBean.pageId" />
    <h:input_hidden id="articleId" valueRef="article.id"/>
    I want to set the value of CommentBean.pageId to
    ${article.id} (article is not a managed bean) and to
    let CommentBean.createAction insert a database row
    whose page_id column is ${article.id}, so I think the
    tags you suggested won't work for me.Why can't you interrogate your ComponentBean for its pageId property during your invoke() method? By the time your invoke() method is called, the value from the hidden field will have been pushed to the model, so this should be no problem. You could do Application.getValueBinding("ComponentBean.pageId").getValue() to do so.

  • ISA Shop hidden field value lost

    Hi,
    I have a problem with the Internetshop. I need to change a value in a field like
    <input type="hidden" name="savefield" value="">.
    I change the value withe a onclick javascript event. I use a alert message to show me that the value changed.
    The function of this value is to differ between the normal shop basket and my arranged basket.
    There will be an if-term which will use this value and change the basket.
    But every time i look into the hidden field its null.
    Has anyone an idea whats the problem is?
    Thx Johannes

    Hi Johannes,
    I found it difficult to approach a lot of my developments in the webshop as the development guide isn't very specific in it's examples.
    I'm interested that you reference the version 3.00 guide - the last I found was version 1.  Where did you get this document and/or are we talking about different documents?!
    Thanks,

  • ID JS (any version): How to access "Author Title" field value through scripting.

    Good Morning:
    In the file information dialog box, there is a field for "Author Title".
    Is it possible to reference this field via scripting?
    I've tried many different field name options for it (i.e. "authorTitle", "titleAuthor", etc...), but no luck so far.
    Thanks!

    Interesting one.
    For some reason it's in the Photoshop namespace:

      <photoshop:AuthorsPosition>That's me!</photoshop:AuthorsPosition>

    You're going to need getProperty() and setProperty() for that:
    doc.metadataPreferences.getProperty("http://ns.adobe.com/photoshop/1.0/","AuthorsPosition");
    and
    doc.metadataPreferences.setProperty("http://ns.adobe.com/photoshop/1.0/","AuthorsPosition","All About Me!");

    HI all,

    Regards,

    hi,
    The way you are trying to get the input field value works good with hbj type elements.
    either you change your input field to an hbj one or use java script inside your jsp page to catch the value
    like
    for HTML:
    [HTML Input Field|http://www.w3schools.com/HTMLDOM/met_doc_getelementbyid.asp]
    and for HTMLB
    refer this link:

  • Setting the value of a hidden field in a Visual Web jsf page

    Hey All,
    I am new to jsf and need some help with the following. I have written a method in the java portion of the jsf page that will get the selection(s) from a listbox and return them as a string. I need to assign the value of that string to a hidden field in the jsp portion of the page, so that I can pass the string as a parameter to a servlet. I have tried the following code in the "button_action", in the java portion of the jsf page, to assign the value of the string, returned from method, to the hidden field:
    hiddenField.setValue(string);
    This is not working. Any and all help on this matter is greatly appreciated.
    Thanks in advance.

    Here is the tag for the hidden field when the "hidden field" component is added from the pallette, I addded the "value" and "id". The name of the class is ReportStandard, which extends the AbstractPageBean.
    <webuijsf:hiddenField binding="#{ReportStandard.utilSelHF}" id="utilSelHF" value="#{ReportStandard.utilParams}"/>This is how I am calling the hidden field in the servlet:
    utils = request.getParameter("form1:utilSelHF_field");Here is the code for the button_action:
    public String runReport_button_action() {
           this.utilParams = get_utilSelection();
           return "sRptrslts";
    }

  • Pass Parameter from JSPF to JSP hidden field?

    Hi :
    I got a problem here. This is the scenario, There's a pop-up JSP page which import a jspf file. In the jspf file, I'll add several value to an array. When user click on OK button on the jspf file. I need to set the array to a hidden field in the jsp file.
    I'd try to use
    window.opener.document.getElementById("hiddenLabel").value = arrayInJspf
    but it's not working at all. So I just wonder can anyone gv me some hints on how this can be done? Thanks.

    You'll need to use some kind of formatting to dump an array in a single formfield. I usually do something like this:
    5|10|14|50|50000
    This would be an array of 5 integers. When the data is submitted, I can get the array back with the String.split() method.
