How to display data sent from a midlet to a servlet over an outputstream in

Question

a browser??
Hello
Currently I send data to a servlet from a midlet and the servlet recieves and processes the data (confirmed through breakpoints) but I want to display the data in a JSP or directly thru the servlet using html tags.
However I can forward or redirect the data from the servlet to my jsp code but this still doesn't launch a browser.
A little more detail... I am not sending information from a JSP to the servlet. The servlet is listening on a port for input, so the servlet is being invoked directly when the data comes in. In the current state my servlet sends the results in a session object to a JSP which gets the results but can't display them since it doesn't launch browser.
Does anybody know how I can achieve what I am trying to do or maybe suggest a better way to do it?
Thanks

The value of a list box will either be a string (if none or one item is selected) or an array (if more than one item is selected). So your code has to determine which it is, and if an array (object), loop through it and get the text of each selected item and add the comma and space. If it's not an array, just use the returned value. Here's a simple custom Calculate script that you can use in the text field:
// Custom Calculate script for text field
(function () {
    // Initialize the string
    var s = "";
    // Get the value of the list box (string or array)
    var v = getField("your_listbox").value;
    // If more than one item is selected, the type of the value will be "object" (an array really)
    if (typeof v === "object") {
        // Loop through the array to build up a string
        for (var i = 0; i < v.length; i++) {
            if (s) s += ", ";  // Add a comma and a space if needed
            s += v[i];  // Add the selected value
        // Set this field value to the string
        event.value = s;
    } else {
        // Set this field value to the one item selected
        event.value = v;
Replace "your_listbox" with the actual name of the listbox you're using.
