response to JSP

[Adi Kulkarni]

Hello,

Sorry for the subject line.

I have a JSP file inside which I'm having an AJAX call which opens another JSP as a dropdown on clicking.

One of the options in the dropdown JSP is "Save data". When I click here, it would save data in the database and return some true or false back to the JSP.

I want to show a temporary message "Saved successfully" on the JSP page after the method return. Can anyone suggest me methods to print a temporary message?

Thanks,
Aditya

You can use the method return value which will be set to certain value (e.g. boolean true or false) to show the message after successful execution of the method.

I have a JSP file inside which I'm having an AJAX call which opens another JSP as a dropdown on clicking.

I suspect you mean that you have a JSP which generates a HTML page which includes JavaScript responsible for making the AJAX call on the browser side.

Using the term JSP where you should be saying HTML and JavaScript leads to confusion about where things are happening.

We see a lot of this confusion on this forum.

Moved to the JavaScript forum.

Actually I have a question in the JSP and JavaScript.

I call a method from a JSP page. This method exists in a model class which in turn calls a sql. The data gets saved in a table.

The response of this method is a boolean variable which I get in a JSP. Now I wan't to show a temporary message like "Save successful" in the JSP page, which should flash for around say 4-5 seconds and disappear. Or probably a JavaScript alert which will show that the save is successful.

So my question here is can I use JavaScript alerts under script tag without actually calling a JavaScript function ?

Thanks,
Aditya

This is not a JSP issue.

Thanks,

I've tried putting random JavaScript under script tags, but it didnt reflect. Can I put a JavaScript alert in a JSP page without calling without an onClick JavaScript function or form submit ?

AJAX and div tags is the solution for your question .
