You can't do that- the java is compiled and run on the server- all the
browser does is display the html/javascript.
You need (something like) a post after putting u and p in hidden fields- in
this case you probably don't wven want them as hidden since the user has to
enter them :) you'll need a link or something to call the js from
<form name="myForm">
<input type="text" name="userName">
.
<script...>
.
document.forms['myForm'].method = 'post';
// the line below copies a javascript variable value into a
hidden
// on the form so it is posted back to the jsp
document.forms['myForm'].u.value = u;
document.forms['myForm'].action = '/jsp/myJsp.jsp';
document.forms['myForm'].submit();
</script>
</form>
.
the browser fires a request back to the server and you can then get at u in
your jsp (say login.jsp)
userId = request.getParameter("u");
so you have two files, skeletons...
login.html
<input type="text" name="u">
<script...>
.
document.forms['myForm'].method = 'post';
document.forms['myForm'].action = '/jsp/login.jsp';
document.forms['myForm'].submit();
</script>
.
etc
<login.jsp>
<%
String userName = request.getParameter("u");
%>
Again, you will probably find this in the archives of the list in more
detail than my hurried description abobe.
