Access JSP hidden Variable in Script

[sgogula]

Hi,

Could someone help me how to access a JSP hidden variable in Java Script?

Here is my code:

<script type="text/javascript">
var mnuItems = ["../../jsp/actions/items.do?action=itemAction&itemId=hdnItem]
</script>
 
<input type=hidden id="hdnItem" name = "hdnItem" value="A565CG"
 
 

I would like to know how to access a hidden variable hdnItem in java script variable.

Thanks

This is a Javascript question so I've moved the thread.

In this case, you'd access the hidden form value using:

document.getElementById("hdnItem").value

Just make sure it's after page load, otherwise the element will be undefined.

Having said that, you could just use JSP to generate the required JavaScript.

After running the page on server it will get converted in HTML right click and view source look at the Id of the hidden field which you want to use.Now with the same Id use it in the javascript programming .If you face any problem post it .
