How to assign Javascript variable to ABAP variable

Question

Hi All,
I have a requirement to create a page where each of the table cells will have drop down boxes with Red, Yellow and Green colors.
When the user selects the color it has to be saved to database.
Now the problem is, I'm using HTML as HTMLB was very complicated for the kind of layout the client needed.
I have created a onChange event for each of these drop down boxes (please keep in mind the dropdown ids are dynamically created by looping the ABAP internal table).
I'm passing this.id on change event and capturing the id name. Now using this id I have to read an internal table.
But the problem is, this is javascript variable and cannot be passed directly to read table statement.
Please help me in this regard.
Lots of points will be given for valuable inputs.
PS: I have gone through the thread Assign a Javascript variable value to a ABAP variable
But doesn't seem to work for my case as I'm using HTML.

Hi Chait,
you need to populate a HTML form field with the variable. Most commonly people use the...
<INPUT type="hidden" id="param1">
construct.
In your javascript you can then just set the value of param1.
Of course you could also dynamically create the elements at runtime in your javascript code.
