Tom,
JSP doesn't preclude JavaScript. We use JavaScript in our JSP pages to do
things like change some select lists based on changes to others. Use the
JavaScript onChange() call for those select boxes. We go out to the server,
reload the contents of lists, and redisplay the page really fast. It works
great.

Subject: Design choices: JSP & Javascript
I have been asked to bring a bunch of PERL web functionality
into a JSP environment. Many of the specs are requesting
Javascript capabilities, like resetting "select" options on
the fly, to match other "selection"s. I have read posts and
book sections about the possibility of mixing Javascript and
JSP, and have experimented a little. But I am asking myself,
why not just do it all in JSP? and, is there anything
available in Javascript that couldn't also be done in JSP,
Beans, taglibs, etc.?
Secondly, our chief designer would like to be able to
control some actions to be "client side", preserving memory
and processing resources on our server. If I opt for doing
everything in JSP, does that preclude using client
resources?
Any thoughts or references will be appreciated.
Tom Miller
