Need a fast answer... passing javascript variable to jsp page (how to use)

This test application has 3 frames.
I'm assigning a value "stuff" to a variable ("testfield1") in a javascript function ("getTest") that exists inside an html frame (testpage1.html)
Then, I click on the "test submit" hypertext link to pass the value of "testfield1" to the JSP frame (testpage2.jsp) by invoking a function ("getData") in "testpage2".
In function ("getData"), I am passing the variable "testfield1" as a parameter to the "getData" function in "testpage2".
In "testpage2" - in the ("getData" function) I try to assign the value of the variable "testfield1" to another variable called "testfld1".
Then, I try to extract the value of "testfld1" into a variable called "tstfld1" in a JSP scriptlet
....I.E. [ String tstfld1  = request.getParameter("testfld1");  ]
But, the value is apparently not passed successfully, as tstfield1 appears to be "null".
Can anyone explain what I'm doing incorrectly?
The code for this test app is below...

parent.frames[2].getData(testfield1); is in testpage1.html
so in the document.pageData.testfld1.value = testfield1; document = testpage1.html( not testpage2.html)
modifying the getData to accept the document object, and refering this object to parent.frames[2].document may help you.
good Luck ....

  • How to pass javascript variable to jsp function

    Regards,
    Ageel

    Thank you for your reply,,,
    I think then the only way to do it is to post the
    value on the server and then use request.getParameter
    method in jsp code
    but the question now how can I post values to the
    server using JavaScript without reloading the pageyes... you can to it by create a new popup window which will submit the value to server after page was loaded... then, server return a value to the same window in html/jsp page which then using javascript to set it back to the opener and close up the window... however, this is not a good choice unless you have no other alternative...
    >
    There is other possible solution
    if I can get the text field value from the same page
    without reloading it that would work fine and will
    solve my problem, is it possible?yes... you can get the value from the textfield...
    for example :
    function showValueInTextField()
        alert(document.forms[0].elements["mytextfieldname"].value);
    >
    My final question> can jsp change things on the same
    page without reloading it. I mean can it work like
    JavaScript so that I can use it's internal functions
    instead of using java script :S
    not really know what you trying to say here...

  • How tp pass javascript variables/arrays to a servlet?

    Plz help me in passing javascript variables/arrays to a servlet

    Hi,
    I am creating table rows & columns containg text fields dynamically as follows:
    function addRowToTable()
    var tbl = document.getElementById('tblSample');
    var lastRow = tbl.rows.length;
    // if there's no header row in the table, then iteration = lastRow + 1
    var iteration = lastRow;
    var row = tbl.insertRow(lastRow);
    // right cell
    var cellRight = row.insertCell(0);
    var el = document.createElement('input');
    el.type = 'text';
    el.name = 'txtRow' + iteration;
    el.id = 'txtRow' + iteration;
    el.size = 20;
    cellRight.appendChild(el);
    Now i am calling function addRowToTable() from jsp page as + key is pressed to add rows dynamically.

  • Passing javascript values to jsp without refreshing the page

    Hi,
    How do u pass a value of a javascript variable to the jsp without refreshing the page ?
    For example, a file called test.jsp in which a javascript variable x contains value 254. I need to pass the value of x to a method declared in test.jsp(same page).

    Hi Mona,
    when i say refresh i do mean a blink of the browser.
    This is a small example i wrote to show you how you can pass javascript varables to JSP variables. If you don't want the refresh to be seen by the user just include this code in a hidden frame on a page and instead of refreshing the entire page, refresh the hidden frame.
    i have to say, i didn't test the code so i don't guarantee it's flawless.
    if you need an more detailed example just tell me, i'll create one, but it won't be for today :)

    /*  i want to pass the values thru session whether it is possible */
    pls give sample code

    You don't have the session.
    All you have is HTTP.
    The only way to communicate from the client to the server is via an HTTP request. The only way to send a value like that is with a parameter.
    Using a form with method="submit" as mentioned will pass the parameters without displaying them in the url bar (is that what you wanted?)

    JSP/Java runs at the server side, produces a HTML page, sends it to the client side and then stops running.
    HTML, containing under each CSS and JS, arrives at the client side and runs at the client side only.
    To invoke JSP/Java using HTML you need to fire a request to the server side. That can be either a plain vanilla <a> link, a <form> to be submitted or an asynchronous Ajaxical request.
    That said, the use of ActiveX in web applications is discouraged. It's a Microsoft IE proprietaty. With other words, it isn't and won't be supported by all alternative browsers which the other half of the world is using.

    Hi all,
    Thanks for your quick response.
    So u are right that we can not call javascript variable
    in the same JSP. and pass them to the bean class.
    So what I did --- I get java script variable in another JSP using
    request.getParameter(); and then redirected to previous JSP.
    and I have solve my problem.
    Actually I had to call bean class and pass varible to the bean
    method but I was getting the same problem that I disscussed but now it
    has been solved.
    Thanks again for participation

  • How can we  use java variable in javascript code on JSP page?

    How can we use java variable in javascript code on JSP page?
    Pls help

    Think about it:
    JSP/Java is executed on the Server and produces HTML+JavaScript.
    Then that HTML+JavaScript is transfered to the client. The client now interpretes the HTML+JavaScript.
    Obviously there's no way to access a Java variable directly from JavaScript.
    What you can do, however, is write out some JavaScript that creates a JavaScript variable containing the value of your Java variable.

  • I want to assign the value of a Javascript variable to JSP Variable

    I want to assign the value of a Javascript variable to JSP Variable .. for example :

    How can i do that ??
    Thanks

    >I want to assign the value of a Javascript variable to JSP Variable
    cannot be done.Friend try to understand concepts properly Javascript is always excuted by the browser @clientside where as JSPCode is executed Websever(ServletContainer) @serverside.Through you are combining JSP Code blocks(Tags,Expressions,scriptlets...) & javascript under a single page webserver can only identify what is their under JSP Code blocks.
    Hope this could be an appropriate answer for your question.
    However,you can as well submit a request by encoding your URL with request parameters and the submit to the page and then collect it using request.getParameter(name).
    But under a single context state it is not possible

    Hi Mariano,
    I'm using JSP presentation too. In "Interactive Component Call" active i'm using "Use JSP presentation", but i only can define one instance variable, i need to add more instance variables. In "Advanced" option of this task, i have the argument mapping .. but i don't understand how to use it.
    I have a instance variable called "genders" of the type String[Int] (Associative Array) and i'm mapping this instance variable in "Arguments Show In" option of the advanced option of JSP presentation. In JSP presentation i have the code:
    <select <f:fieldName att="person.gender"/>>
                   <c:forEach var="gender" begin="0" items="${genders}" varStatus="status">
                        <c:choose>

  • How can I access xml document from javascript whithin a JSP page

    how can I access xml document from javascript whithin a JSP page?
    I have a JSP that receives an XML document from a JavaBean, so I can access it within the entire JSP, but I need to access it from the javascript inside the JSP... and I have no idea how i can do this.
    Thanks in advance!

    The solution would only work on MS IE browsers, as other browsers do not support an XML DOM.
    It can be done, but you would be stuck with using the Microsoft broswer. If that is acceptable, I have some example code, and a book recommendation.
