You need to explain more clearly what you have.
Do you have two Java programs running on the same JVM?

Hi subbaraju,

welcome to TSDN. You can very well do it by getting the value from the controlbox and putting it inside.

The select box (in HTML control) has some properties

(*) selectedIndex -> the index of the item/option presently selected
(*) value -> the value of the item being selected.

Let's say you have a select box which gets rendered like this..

<select id="mySelectBox">
<option value="v1">ABC</option>
<option value="v2">DEF</option>
</select>
 

You can make a JavaScript function get executed on changing the value of the select box by calling it in the 'onChange' property. Inside the javascript function, you can get it by accessing

var index = document.forms[0].mySelectBox.selectedIndex;
var selValue = document.forms[0].mySelectBox.value;
 

Here the index would be '1' and value would be 'v1' if you have chosen the 'ABC' in the list box.

Get the value in a hidden variable and submit it to a page where you can retrieve the value from the 'request' scope.

Hope this helps!
