You're trying to merge client side code and server side code. Your server side code has no idea what the country variable is. Here are only two ways to do this:
1. Build javascript arrays of the information dynamically on the server side and build the proper associations between the data using javascript. Then build the function to act on that data on the onChange events on the select boxes. or 2. Create 1 pixel frame on right side of screen and when you select an option in your select box, have a javascript function refresh that frame and have some JavaScript arrays print out over there and using the onLoad command for that frame, populate the select box on your main page based on the value selected. This option is kind of klugy, but could be fun. :-) This is really probably only good for intranet type application where everyone has guaranteed fast connection over a LAN. ----- Original Message ----- From: "sanjeev_dutt" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Struts Users Mailing List" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Monday, April 15, 2002 9:04 AM Subject: RE: Passing JavaScript variable to a Java Scriptlet on a JSP page Hi Oliver, The main issue here is that I don't want to reload the page. Is there some way this could be done without reloading the page ?

Each time you select a value you can call a javascript funtion which filters this collection. Maybe your data is stored like that germany.bavaria.nuremberg englang.blabla.london so you can filter the data, then reload the the page(don't forget to set again your collection as attribute) -----Original Message----- From: sanjeev_dutt [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, April 15, 2002 2:49 PM To: Struts Users Mailing List Subject: RE: Passing JavaScript variable to a Java Scriptlet on a JSP page Hi Oliver, I am forced to do that. Actually on my JSP I have three lookups: Country, State and City. If the user choses a particular country, then he should be able to see only the corresponding states in the states lookup. This is where the JavaScript comes in. Any other suggestions to implement this ?

Why don't you use <% Hashtable states = new Hashtable(); states = Combo.getStates(country); .... %> and then you use Country: <%=country.toString()%> You don't need to use this javascript stuff, cause the disadvantage is that you execute this document.write stuff on the client side. You first execute you java scriptlet, the transfer the date to the client and there the javascript code is executed. So it would be easier if you would only work with Java scriptlets or Tags here Oliver -----Original Message----- From: sanjeev_dutt [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, April 15, 2002 2:32 PM To: Struts Users Mailing List Subject: Passing JavaScript variable to a Java Scriptlet on a JSP page Hi, I have this piece of code on my JSP: <Script language = "javascript"> function fnGetStates() { country = document.searchAcctForm.cboAcctAddrCountry.value; alert(country); document.write('<% Hashtable states = new Hashtable(); %>'); document.write('<% states = Combo.getStates(country);%>'); document.write('<% Enumeration state = states.keys(); %>'); document.write('<% while (state.hasMoreElements()) { %>'); document.write('<% String statecode = (String)state.nextElement(); %>'); document.write('<% String sts = (String)states.get(statecode); %>'); document.write('<html:option value="<%= statecode %>"><%= sts %></html:option>'); document.write('<% } %>'); } </Script> The problem is that "alert" is able to show the value of country. But within the document.write, It is not able to get the value of "country". It throws the following error : ~:\citione\web\WEB-INF\_tmp_war_myserver_myserver_web\jsp_servlet\_jsp\_sear ch\__searchacct.java:801: cannot resolve symbol probably occurred due to an error in /jsp/search/searchacct.jsp line 197: document.write('<% states = Combo.getStates(country);%>'); Could some one help ?
