The things on the client happen on the client. The things on the server happen on the server.
What I do to handle this is read a template file (a piece of HTML), and plug in
things replacing some text tags. (HIDDEN_FIELD_VALUE_GOES_HERE), etc... This
gives you full control of everything. Porblems with this method include naming
conflicts, passing the form name that the tag appears on into the tag, restoring
the state of the HTML controls that control the HTML rendered by the tag (checkbox
states, default selection list, rows selected in a table), etc.
This is hideous. Hideous. It's just better than any alternatives I've seen.
Also, the fact you have javascript variables, request variables and tag variables
laying arround makes it even more unpleasent.

P.S. Don't tell me my code needs to use StringBuffer and not String. This is from
a rapid prototype and not production code. The method could be improved. Usage
ex for a tag, follows this method.
/** Takes a string, and replaces the replace text with new text.
* @param str String to replace into
* @param replace Text ro replace.
* @param newtext What to replace it with.
* @return str with the replace text replaced with the new text.
*/
protected static String replaceTextInMiddleOfStringIfItExists(String str,
String replace,
String newtext){
//Might be more than one, replace 'em all.
while(str.indexOf(replace)!=-1){
str = str.substring(0,str.indexOf(replace)) +
newtext +
str.substring(str.indexOf(replace)+replace.length());
}
return str;
}
Usage EX:
...
try {
JspWriter wr = pageContext.getOut();
PrintWriter writer = new PrintWriter(wr);
BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new
FileReader("/home/gbishop/www/bmg/dev/run/ckie/jsp/charttabletag.template"));
String line;
while( ((line=br.readLine())!=null)){
line = replaceTextInMiddleOfStringIfItExists(line,
"HEADER_GOES_HERE", header );
line = replaceTextInMiddleOfStringIfItExists(line,
"TABLE_CONTENTS_GOES_HERE", tableContents );
line = replaceTextInMiddleOfStringIfItExists(line,
"SELECTIONS_GOES_HERE",
pageContext.getRequest().getParameter("TableSelections") );
line = replaceTextInMiddleOfStringIfItExists(line,
"BACKGROUND_COLOR_GOES_HERE", backgroundColor );
line = replaceTextInMiddleOfStringIfItExists(line,
"HILIGHTED_COLOR_GOES_HERE", hilightedColor );
line = replaceTextInMiddleOfStringIfItExists(line,
"DRAG_COLOR_GOES_HERE", dragColor );
line = replaceTextInMiddleOfStringIfItExists(line,
"SELECTED_COLOR_GOES_HERE", selectedColor );
line = replaceTextInMiddleOfStringIfItExists(line,
"BORDER_COLOR_GOES_HERE", borderColor );
line = replaceTextInMiddleOfStringIfItExists(line,
"TABLE_DATA_VIEW_NAME_GOES_HERE", tableDataViewHiddenFieldName );
line = replaceTextInMiddleOfStringIfItExists(line,
"HTCS_TO_INVOKE_GOES_HERE", htcs );
writer.println(line);
}
} catch(IOException e) {
throw new JspTagException("IO Error: " + e.getMessage());
}
