Hi all,
In my program I have 2 javascript functions
function send() and function process(input)
first I have to call send() when I click a button. In this function I am calling a method which outputs a String.
ie, my send function will return me a String as Output.
Now I want to pass this String to the second function to do the rest.
How do I capture this String ?
Any code help...
Thanks,
Maya

This might help:
<script language="Javascript">
function Test1() {
var var1;
var1 = "Testing";
return var1;
}
function Test2(var2) {
alert(var2);
}
function Test() {
Test2(Test1());
}
</script>
:
:
<form name=form1>
<input type="button" onclick="Test()" value="GO">
</form>

Dilip,
This is a good suggestion.
But, I am getting the var1 ( I have to get it) when I call a servlet in a remote machine.
Once I get that var1, I have to call the 2 function.
ie, in the first fn, my form's action is a servlet in a remote machine which returns me a response string.
Then I have to call the second function with this response string.. No Idea, how to do this..
Do you have any idea ?
Thanks,
Maya

why not put your second javascript function in a second page (the target of the first page)? The second function'll compute the response string when the browser loads the second page

Hi Xavier,
Thanks for the response.
But the problem still persists.. Bcause, the terget of the first jsp is a remore servlet, actually only a class file that we have to call. I can't modify this servlet.
This is an api servlet...
