Answer 1

is it possible to reference a javascript variableinside a JSP block?
what i am trying to do is to delete all rows that are checked from the list on button clickNo it is not possible.
The button has to submit the form, and then you use request.getParameter() to find out which checkboxes were checked.
The best approach is to give all your checkboxes the same name, and the value being the id you want to delete.
eg
<input type="checkbox" name="deluser" value="42">
<input type="checkbox" name="deluser" value="69">
<input type="checkbox" name="deluser" value="666">
then in your java/servlet code
// using a prepared statement in this case is more efficient. 
// Can reuse the same statement multiple times.
PreparedStatement stmt = connect.prepareStatement("delete from credentials where UserId = ?";
// retrieve the selected checkboxes.
String[] selectedIds = request.getParameterValues("delUser");
// check to see if any were checked
if (selectedIds != null){
  // iterate over all userids marked for deletion
  for (int i=0; i<selectedIds.length; i++){
    int idToDelete = Integer.parseInt(selectedIds);
stmt.setInt(1, idToDelete);
stmt.execute();
