Wonderful Number in jsp

[YuenLian Wu]

Hi all,

I am having problem using jsp with javascript. Actually I have a text inside the HTML TAG, like <TD height="27">1</TD>, the "1" indicating the sequence number, and I want to pass it to server without using any textfield, combo box, etc. My form is kind of dynamic , which means the next row may be 2, or 4 since user can remove any row dynamicly. How can the server side retrieve this wonderful number ?

Please help

Before you submit, you could use javascript to build up your contents
in your TD tags and submit it to the server.

Use a hidden input element.

I can't simply use the hidden tag, since the server side won't that value belong to which row in my form. Also, hidden tag can't pass in an array form into server, so that all the rows in my form won't be recognize by the processing mechanism from the server

hidden tag can't pass in an array form into server...Very good

That is why you need to develop something that takes the array and makes in a format tat can be passed to the server. Bears idea would have a hidden field in each row that you would update with the new position. Or you take the array, make it into a string and put that value in the hidden element.
