Here's what I came up with:
In my jsp:
<%@ page import="myclasses.Finals" %>
<script type="text/javascript" language="javascript">
<%@ include file="myscript.js" %>
</script>
In myscript.js:
function myFunction()
{
if (formAction == "<%= Finals.RESET %>")
{
// reset the page, etc.
}
}
The only problem that I can see is that this sort of defeats one of the
purposes for having functions in an external file: hiding your
javascript code. I'm not sure how big of an issue that is because you
can find the .js file in cache anyway.
Thanks for all of the help!
Jason
