working with session variables
- Thread starter sthmpsn1

You can use this:
<html>
<body>
<%
session("xy"
=3
session("name"="john"
%>
<script language=javascript>
var n=<%=session("xy"%>;
var z='<%=session("name"%>';
alert('number='+n+' name='+z);
</script>
</body>
</html>

You will need to put them in a form (possibly as INPUT TYPE=hidden) and the form action is an ASP page that reads the form values and assigns them to the session vars.
You see ASP runs on the server, JavaScript runs on the client. Once the page is on the client the only way to run server side scripts (like ASP) is to call another web page.

in your JSP page :
<script>
var myJSPVariable = "<%= myJSPVariable %>"
</script>
<body onload="document.forms[0].test.value = myJSPVariable">
<form action=anotherJsp.jsp>
<input type=text name=test>
</form>
now on anotherJsp.jsp I can do :
<%
String myJSVariable = Request.getParameter("test"
%>
Hope this helps you out. Gary Haran

JSP is like ASP - they are SERVER SIDE SCRIPTING LANGUAGES. So once the page is running in the browser (ie JavaScript is handling things), JSP is no longer present in the page. You will need to send the variables' values to a second page that will use them to set the JSP variables.
