passing a java variable from a JSP to javascript

[Angus Ferguson]

Hi,

I am retrieving a variable from a JSP like this, ${chrome} and it works. Now I have a js script and I want retrieve it from inside

Any idea?

Thanks

What you can is declare a java script variable that is generated by the JSP. Something like this

var chrome = '${chrome}';

Let's say the value of chrome in Java is Hello World, the HTML generated will be

var chrome = 'Hello World';

You can use the javascript chrome variable in your java script.

I am getting the chrome value from a the request.

This sentence does not parse.

Please read this article to understand why JavaScript has not access to server0side JSP variables. All you can do is what has already been outlined: create markup on the server that's sent to the client for interpretation.

Any example of that, please?

Thanks

A perfect example has already been posted by Jayesh.
