How does JavaScript maintain same values for all jsps?

[karthick ryan]

Hi all,
I have a javascript file say :

var str="initially hai";
function store()
{
str = "now, hello";
} //please ignore if i have any syntax problem

function ripoff()
{
alert(str);
}

Now, if i access the "store()" in the java script from a first.jsp file, it would change the value of str to "now, hello". But if i access the ripoff method from a different jsp (second.jsp) file, will it have the value "now, hello". Pls explain this concept.
Thanks !!

Did you try to do this on a sample page? Running a simple test will give you the answer.
