hi ...

have a look at the following example:

function s() {
    var value = 'SAMPLE';
    alert('here is func s with local var: ' + value);
    return value;
}
 
function w() {
    var v = s();
    alert('here is func w called with the returned: ' + v);
}
 
w();
 

kind regards

different folder? ... to get it to work you have to include the files in a webpage ... and then you don't have a problem ... is it a webpage where you want to use the functions? only one or different frames?

hmmm ... how is the interaction of the scripts? let me summarize: you request a jsp-page from the browser -> the user gets the html and works with the page -> a value of a hidden field is set on the page -> now that value should be passed to another page with another script?

Hi,
thanks for the reply
Its not another page with script but another script file (js file).
what i did is that we got the value of the hidden field into the script in the jsp page but now i cant pass this value to the script file.

can you tell me how to return a value from a function

Can you show how you include these scripts within the page and what they contain?
