Javascript - Java list menu

[tamasu]

Hi,

I am retrieving a selected item from a list/menu component on an
HTML page. The said value is passed as a parameter to a method
initiated through <jsp:useBean.


I am aware that when the user selects an item from the list/menu an
onChange event is triggered. I have handled this event by a javascript
function.


The table is populated according to the selected item, and therefore I have used the following syntax in order to populate an already defined table 'tblResults': var x=document.getElementById('tblResults').insertRow( );

Before populating each row I need to retrieve the data using the method <% outResult = result.getResult(xxx);%>, where results is the object declared by the <jsp:useBean. The xxx refers to a variable pointing to the HTML list/menu. I am able to call this method through the use of scriptlets. When I pass a value instead of xxx the process works correctly and the data is loaded into the database, however I cannot find a way of how I can pass the variable. I attempted to use

I would appreciate your kind help

Happy Christmas and thanks

Have a input type hidden in ur html and set the value when the select is changed. You can access that input value using request.getAttribute("hidden field name ")

You're mixing up Java/JSP and JavaScript. One is server-side and one is client-side. If you want to use both without a page reload, use Ajax.
