passing javascript event to JSP code

[kirankulkarni]

I have a javascript function that opens a different page depending upon user selection from a combo box. I want to capture the result of that function in a string.

e.g.

<select name=&quot;abc&quot; onchange=&quot;JavaScript:ChoiceSelection(options[options.selectedIndex].value);&quot;>

<option value=&quot;x&quot;>x
<option value=&quot;y&quot;>y
<option value=&quot;z&quot;>z
</select>

Now, want the selected value (x,y,or z) in a string. In other words, i want the result of function ChoiceSelection.

<% String something = request.getParameter(???) %>

<script language=&quot;javascript&quot;>
function ChoiceSelection( sLetter){
if('undefined' == typeof(sLetter)) sLetter = &quot;x&quot;;
document.location = &quot;mypage.jsp?foo=&quot; + sLetter;
}
</script>

<% String something = request.getParameter(&quot;foo&quot %>

Hope this helps
