Litteral Session Attribute

[SDyke]

I am trying to use JavaScript to read a session attribute Example: 861027-403

The result I am getting is a calculation(861027-403 = 860626) I want the result as a litteral string(861027-401) Which is what the value on the session attribule is.

Here is my JavaScript that is contained in my HTML page:

<SCRIPT type="text/javascript"><!--
function setNewDwgPrev(){
alert(${prevdwgno});
document.getdrawingnumber.dwgno.value = ${prevdwgno};
//document.getdrawingnumber.getDwgButton.click();
}
function setNewDwgNext(){
alert(${nextdwgno});
document.getdrawingnumber.dwgno.value = ${nextdwgno};
//document.getdrawingnumber.getDwgButton.click();
}

//--></SCRIPT>

Hi

Then enclose it with single quotes ( ' ) or double quotes ( " ). By the way, what is that [tt]${prevdwgno}[/tt] syntax ?

All I know is it how I reference the session attribute.

Would you have any idea how I can use javascript to set a session attribute value.

You can't. Sessions are stored on the server and the SessionId value is created by the server.

Then I need some other solution. What I have is a web app that looks up drawing data from a remote data source. The user types in the drawing number, clicks a button, a servlet calls a java class which connects and runs SQL based on the input. The default is an exact search. I need the user to be able to pick an option on the web page(radio button) to change the search to First in a Series or Partial drawing number. If one of these options is picked I need the servlet to do a preliminary SQL to find the fisrt drawing number that matches then run the base connection class. So in other words haw can the HTML radio button and JavaScript set a flag for the servlet to read. Now I have if{searchType == "Exact"} The radio button needs to give searchType a new value.
