Servlets and JavaScript

[jlipsitz]

Hi,

I have a servlet that writes html code and also creates a separate frame. I need to be able detect a mouseover event on the html page that would then update the frame based on what was moused over. What is the easiest to coordinate the mouseover event with the update of the frame. And is javascript the only way that I will be able to pick up the mouseover?

Thanks

yes JS is the only way to pick mouseovers. and lets say u r printing a button:
out.println(&quot;<input type='Button' .... onMouseOver='FunctionHere()'>&quot;

So after the mouse event i need to get information that is stored in the servlet...What is the best way to transfer control from the javascript back to some function in the servlet.

that is not possible as the javascript code is executed only after the entire servlet is run. u may have to resubmit to the servlet...
