Hello all of you,
Tell me if it's possible to do this...
I want when a button is pressed to validate the information with JavaScript THEN...AND PERHAPS i need to include a JSP file or HTML file with this operation, it would look like this.
...........................................................
<INPUT TYPE="button" VALUE=" Add a row." ONCLICK="return addRow(this)">
------------------------------------------------*/
function addRow(objForm)
{
// inTheActualForm.open("extraRow.html");
// OR
<jsp:include page="extraRow.html">
</jsp:include>
return false;
}
// End of addRow().
..............................................................
I sure hope i make it clear enough for you, tell me please how i could manage such an inclusion.
Thanks kindly.

JavaScript in a web page runs on the client's machine - it can't directly talk to the JSP server. What you want to do is make the onClick() method do a submit and supply the URL of the JSP as the target.

Thank you Tim,
Perhaps I'm not sure how to do what you suggest me to do.
I'm new with JavaScript and JSP, so could you please be more descriptive on how i should submit and activate the URL.
Thanks again for you time.

here is an example. Do something similar.
<FORM NAME = "yourformName" ACTION=" the URL of your JSP METHOD="POST">
In the onClick() event of your button, hace it submit your form.
ex yourformName.submit()

Problem still !!!
I did what Bosun suggested PERHAPS it always open in another window, i wish to get it open in the actual form which contains a table... is that possible ??? if so, please help.
I tried the ...this.open(URL) /and many other possibilities,
but nothing works as i want it to. !!!
Thanks for your time all
