This is not possible, nor is it logically sensible.
Javascript code runs on the client (in other words after the page is downloaded).
JSP code runs on the server (in other words before the page is downloaded).
The only thing you can do is have your javascript submit a request to a JSP and pass the necessary parameters along with the request.

OK - Thanks. Even if I specify serverside in javascript ?
How about this - I am getting the javascript variables from a call to a servlet.
(e.g)
<HEAD>
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="Javascript" SRC=" </SCRIPT>
</HEAD>
It is returning the javascript .
var username = "xxxxx", etc..
Can I grab this information in the jsp and do string manipulation to get by data, then store in a variable ?
I can handle the string manipulation but not sure how the get this data returned from the servlet into my jsp.
I am using:
<jsp:include page=" flush="true" />
Then what do I do ?
All of you help has been great. I am looking for option other then posting the javascript as it may be a security problem.

About posting javascript.
This should never present a security problem because any visitor to your page can ALWAYS get at the javascript. Disable right-click? I can still get to it. You will have MAJOR security problems if you store anything that must not be seen in javascript.
